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 anexcavation that would change the way we think about dinosaurs. Named forits place of discovery, "Dakota" was gradually uncovered and moved to a labfor 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 laboratorystudies of the hadrosaur specimen, brings Dakota and its environment backto life on the pages of this amazing book.
