When dinosaurs thundered across the land, and enormous reptiles swam in the salty oceans, reptiles called Ornithocheirus, part of the Pterosaur family, ruled the ancient skies. Claire Ewart transports readers back to the age of the dinosaurs to take flight with a majestic Ornithocheirus that once soared through North American skies more than ninety million years ago, following it from sunup to sunup. And when the Ornithocheirus finally lives out its natural life, layers of Earth and layers of time work to transform this creature into a fossil - an amazing transformation that happens over millions of years.Fossil is a part of the Auracle line from Auryn Inc. The app is based on Claire Ewarts book by the same name.Key features include:Enthrall your children with stories about the Mesozoic Era, which talks about the evolution, existence and extinction of Dinosaurs.
