DR. WILLIAM B. GALLAGHER is the registrar of natural history at the New Jersey State Museum and a visiting lecturer in dinosaur paleontology at Rutgers University.
Ever since the beginnings of paleontology in America, New Jersey
has been 'the place,' and William Gallagher--who terrorized his
South Jersey mother by traipsing home green mud, marl, and
fossils--is the ideal guide to the wonderful dinosaurs and other
fossils of the region. High school and college students, their
teachers, interested general readers and professional
paleontologists will all enjoy this book!
*The Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia*
William Gallagher shows all New Jerseyans why they can be proud of
their state's role in dinosaur paleontology and in science as a
whole.
*Curator of Natural History, New Jersey State Museum*
A very enjoyable read--and an ambitious work that not only deals
with dinosaurs of the New Jersey region, but much more besides. The
hard-core dinosaur crowd will certainly want it, no matter where
they live.
*author of Lone Star Dinosaurs and Quest for the African
Dinosaurs*
