Dinomummy

Dinomummy

By Phillip Manning

In 2000, teenage dino-hunter Tyler Lyson stumbled across the fossil remains

of a hadrosaur in the remote hills of the Hell Creek Formation in North

Dakota. More than a collection of fossilized bones, Tyler discovered a

threedimensional mummified dinosaur—a dinomummy. He and a

paleontologist from the University of Manchester in England, Dr. Phil

Manning, led an

excavation that would change the way we think about dinosaurs. Named for

its place of discovery, "Dakota" was gradually uncovered and moved to a lab

for further excavation and analysis. Tyler and Phil's enthusiasm, expertise,

and years of work blend as this paleontological detective story unfolds.


Stunning computer-generated artwork, based on fieldwork and laboratory

studies of the hadrosaur specimen, brings Dakota and its environment back

to life on the pages of this amazing book. Travel back in time to explore

Hell Creek 65 million years ago, when herds of hadrosaurs migrated across

vast floodplains.

Dakota died during the Late Cretaceous Period on the floodplains of North

America and its body was locked in a rocky tomb. But Dakota's story was

far from over. From the rugged badlands of Hell Creek to high-tech

scientific labs, photographs document the incredible story of two men and

a very special dinosaur.
