North America in the Age of the Dinosaurs - Published 1993 by National Geographic
Prehistoric Thematic Map | Fossils, Species & Ancient Landscapes | Wall Format (683 × 513 mm) | Premium Finishes
Step back 74 million years into a dramatically different world. North America in the Age of the Dinosaurs reimagines the continent during the late Cretaceous, when inland seas divided the land and dinosaurs ruled its ecosystems. Published by National Geographic in January 1993, this map blends science, illustration, and cartography to bring prehistoric North America vividly to life.
Produced as a companion to Dawn on the Delta: 74 Million Years Ago, it offers a richly detailed and educational view of dinosaur distribution and ancient environments.
