Sidetracked: The Struggle for BC's Fossils - E-book - ePub

What began as a hunting trip to British Columbia's Northern Rockies in 2000 turns into one of the province's most important fossil finds - the Monroe Dinosaur Trackway in Kakwa Provincial Park. In Sidetracked: The Struggle for BC's Fossils, Vivien Lougheed tells the fascinating tale of the trackway's discovery and, in the telling, weaves in stories of other major fossil finds in British Columbia and across North America, many of which demonstrate how egos, turf wars and a lack of resources diminish the science of paleontology.
