Louis Jacobs opened the eyes of paleontologists to the African continent when he uncovered a major fossil site in the hills of Malawi in the 1980s. During five digging seasons in Malawi and three in Cameroon, Jacobs found the remains of two meat-eating theropods, two herbivorous sauropods, an odd crocodile about the size of a Chihuahua, and rare early mammals. This is a study of the quest for the African dinosaurs, and it includes Jacobs' new introduction discussing developments in paleontological research in Africa.
