Description

In the rugged badlands along Alberta’s Red Deer River, a seasoned fossil hunter chronicles a new chapter of his lifelong quest. Joined by his three sons and backed by the Geological Survey of Canada, he plunges into a 500‑foot‑deep gorge that has become one of the world’s richest Cretaceous sites. The narrative blends vivid field sketches with the raw challenges of hauling massive bone fragments across treacherous terrain.

Together they uncover previously unknown genera of duck‑billed and horned dinosaurs, revealing surprising details like thin, scale‑covered skin and flexible armor plates. The author walks listeners through every step—from the first scrape of rock, through painstaking laboratory preparation, to the moment a thirty‑two‑foot skeleton is finally erected for display. Interspersed with original photographs, the account captures both the scientific thrill and the sheer awe of resurrecting ancient giants.
