Sure! There’s a lot out there for the general public which you can find at book stores, and then there are others for the more serious which may need to be ordered online. Here are some that come to mind, and I can always add to the list later. Perhaps I can make a page on my blog fully dedicated to books and sites to check out? If you (or anyone else) would like me to make a page like that, let me know!

Everyone has different opinions for each book, but I’ll trust you guys to read reviews and the like before buying anything (always a good thing to do). Also, palaeontology’s such a huge variety of different topics, and seeing as I specialise mainly in theropods, I may not have a book fully on the Palaeocene for example. So here are a mix of books that come to mind - and again - if you guys want me to make a page for these kind of references, I can!

• The Princeton Field Guide to Dinosaurs by Gregory S. Paul

There’s a few, haha! Also, things that are just (or even more) important would be published research papers. I usually read those more than I do a book I can get at the store. It all depends on what I’m looking for, but I hope this list is of some help!

Hey followers, this is good for all you palaeontology enthusiasts out there!
