<p>In June the SciFi &amp; Fantasy Book Club concludes our cycle of archeology &amp; paleontology related texts with Cixin Liu&#39;s short novel&nbsp;<em>The Cretaceous Past</em>. Copies are available from the library in <a href="https://durhamcounty.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S217C283214">multiple formats</a>.&nbsp;</p> <p>From the publisher:</p> <p>&quot;When a Tyrannosaurus rex suffers pain from meat trapped between its enormous teeth, a nearby colony of ants risks entering the great creature&#39;s maw to make their own repast from the remains of the dinosaur&#39;s most recent meal. From this humble beginning, over the course of millennia, a symbiotic civilization achieves amazing advances, reaching dizzying heights in countless endeavors scientific and social, facing dangers and exploiting opportunities at every turn.&quot;</p>
