The Secret Life Of Dinosaurs -Unearthing the Behaviours of Prehistoric Animals

Have you ever wondered what the dinosaurs really got up to?

Focusing on the direct evidence of astonishing behaviours in some of the world’s most extraordinary and unusual fossils, from mating dinosaurs to mosasaur mealtimes and a two-headed fossil reptile, Dr Lomax provides a fascinating glimpse into the grand cycle of life in deep time.

Along the way, he shares his adventures as a palaeontologist, and book illustrator Bob Nicholls explains his role in carefully reconstructing prehistoric animals to ensure scientific accuracy.

The talk will be followed by a Q&A and a book signing with the author and illustrator.
