His new book takes us deep into prehistoric worlds, where extraordinary fossils reveal remarkable behaviours once hidden in deep time.  The book, entitled “The Secret Lives of Dinosaurs – Unearthing the Real Behaviors of Prehistoric Animals” has been produced in collaboration with palaeo-reconstruction artist Bob Nicholls.

“The Secret Lives of Dinosaurs”

In this compelling new work, Dr Lomax highlights some of the most astonishing fossils ever unearthed. As you turn each page, you encounter battling dinosaurs frozen mid-fight, mosasaurs caught in the middle of a meal, and even a rare two-headed reptile preserved for over 200 million years. Each example offers direct evidence of life’s challenges in our planet’s ancient history.  It is a beautifully written book, full of captivating insights and personal perspectives. Moreover, Slash from Guns N’ Roses praised the book as “Fantastic, engrossing & funny”, a testament to its ability to captivate readers of all ages.
