Book: The Lost Dinosaurs of Egypt

Here's the description:

In 1911, Dr. Ernst Stromer led an expedition to Egypt's Bahariya Oasis in the Sahara and discovered four new species of dinosaurs, including the Tyrannosaurus-Rex sized predator, Spinnosaurus. But tragically, all his work was incinerated in 1944 during the Allied bombing of Munich



In 1999, Josh Smith, then a graduate student at theUniversity of Pennsylvania, took his brilliant, preccious team to Egypt under the direction of world-renowned paleontologist Dr. Peter Dodson and blundered onto an archaeological site that yielded awe-inspiring results: all of Dr. Stromer's early findings, and also an entirely new genus of dinosaur, Paralititan stromeri, one of the argest creatures ever to inhabit the planet.


I'll be reviewing it as soon as I've read it!
