HEATHER'S AMAZING DISCOVERY! The Story of an Eighty Million Year Old Elasmosaur, by Deborah Griffiths, was written for young and old alike, as this true story follows Mike and Heather's exciting excavation alongside scientists and the Courtenay and District Museum, inspiring children to explore the natural world and discover the prehistoric history hidden right beneath their feet.

In November 1988, Canadian surveyor and amateur paleontologist Michael Trask and his young daughter, Heather, were fossil hunting along the banks of the Puntledge River on Vancouver Island when Heather spotted unusual bones embedded in the exposed shale. Their incredible find turned out to be the 80-million-year-old fossilized skeleton of a 26-foot-long elasmosaur, a giant marine reptile from the dinosaur age and the first of its kind ever recorded west of the Canadian Rockies.
