Dinosaur fossils

[Strepsodus]

Hi.  I have decided to start collecting dinosaur fossils from as many UK locations as possible.  After doing research on the Internet I understand how to tell the difference between dinosaur and non dinosaur bones but can anyone suggest any books which explain the difference between the bones of each type of dinosaur, such as Theropods and Sauropods?

 

 

Thanks,

The best way to tell the difference between a theropod bone and all others is that they are hollow and thin walled.   

 

The book Dinosauria second edition is a great source of information covering all families of dinosaurs

If you collect locally these are the two best books

I second @Troodon on the recommendation of Weishampel et. al. as it is a very useful tome when it comes to dinosaur anatomy. I have used it heavily when identifying individual bones from my area.
