RE: Request for some help.



I've only been on the mailing list for a few days, but am thoroughly enjoying all the insight provided in the e-mail.  I'm not a paleontologist.  Though I was a biology major who went on into medical research, I don't do that anymore.  I'm a writer.  I primarily write non-fiction reference books on educational funding (as my Website will attest to).  I'm endeavoring to prepare a fictional book for submission for possible publication.

The book, The Collector, is a contemporary novel/thriller (with a touch of sci-fi), but has a couple of chapters which will deal with prehistoric time.  Since I want to get my facts straight (after all I do write reference books).  I've been all over the Internet and have found some great sites, but it's taking a lot of time to find what I need.  The e-mail I've received from the list has given me a couple of thoughts about possibilities for the chapters.

Can anyone either provide a list or suggest a Website which will provide a list of what large dinosaurs occurred in what time period?

Which dinosaurs existed at the same time?

What was the flora and fauna of the varies eras?

Would anyone be interested in serving as a reader to catch any errors in those areas?

So as not to take up valuable time on the list, please feel free to contact me directly.  I hope I haven't breeched any netiquette, but I'd like to try and finish this book sometime in this century.

I'd appreciate any help I can get.
