Publisher's Synopsis
In November 1988, Canadian Surveyor and Amateur Palaeontologist, Michael Trask and his daughter, Heather, explored the banks of the Puntledge River on Vancouver Island and discovered the fossilized remains of an 80 million year old elasmosaur. The exciting discovery of this dinosaur age marine reptile led to excavation of the 26 ft. long animal and to many other significant discoveries of marine animals--still being made today. Through Heather's Amazing Discovery, children can share Mike and Heather's discovery and explore the world around them. This is the third edition of this popular children's book, which was a finalist in the Children's Literature Roundtables of Canada Information Book Awards. All proceeds to Courtenay and District Museum.
