Non-dino, but I was asked to pass this on...

A new book:

Julia T. Sankey and Jacob Biewer

The Giant Spike-Toothed Salmon and Other Extinct Wildlife of Central California

https://www.paleowire.com/new-book-giant-spike-toothed-salmon-and-much-more-from-the-early-pliocene-of-california/

Unfortunately, the commercial link I was emailed is likely to block this post because of the DML spam-blocking software, but querying the title should take you to the book for online purchase.

A quick summary:

Giant, spike toothed salmon and massive tortoises in California!  5 million years ago, California was a much different place, with some very weird animals. Go back in time and learn about the geology and paleontology of the Central Valley of California, with erupting volcanoes and rivers that flowed in the opposite direction from today. Learn about the amazing extinct wildlife, how these animals became fossils, and the paleontologists who discovered them. This concise, engaging, and well-illustrated book is suitable for all ages
