(2) K-3 Illustrated by Florencia Gigena. The paleontologist authors take readers step-by-step through the process of unearthing, transporting, and assembling a titanosaur skeleton they discovered. Additional definitions and facts are found at the bottoms or sides of the pages. Gigena's art (which appears to be pencil and watercolor) skillfully conveys the immensity of the fossils. Small photographs of the authors and their team members at work are found throughout.

(3) K-3 The major ages, periods, and epochs of geologic time literally unfold across a continuous twenty-six-foot-long illustration. Print block-style images of the time periods' major geologic features and inhabitants are featured on each double-page spread, accompanied by a brief written description. The unfolded image very effectively conveys relative time and the explosion of life across the ages. The reverse side has a stripped-down timeline with major events delineated.

Some also include a graphic size comparison to humans, a stylish digital illustration using muted tones and snazzy patterns (which vary in scientific accuracy), or a paragraph with additional details about the dinosaur's behaviors or physical characteristics.
