According to Dr David Raup, previous curator of the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, this should be “required reading for all amateur fossil collectors and, especially the professionals.”

Description

Sidetracked describes the discovery of a dinosaur trackway at Kakwa Provincial Park in northern British Columbia by Garnet Fraser, a medical doctor and skilled outdoorsman. The book describes the excitement of the find and the resulting conflict between amateur and professional paleontologists not only in this case but throughout the continent including the case of Pete Larson who went to prison in South Dakota over a similar battle.
