Printing Details
First thus (first printing in the Perennial Library edition). Paperback. 23 × 15cm, 210pp.
Signed and dedicated by John Horner to the half-title.
The book details Horner's discovery of fossilized dinosaur nesting sites, complete with intact eggs, embryos, and hatchlings during excavations in Montana. The findings revolutionized palaeontology by demonstrating that certain species—most notably the duck-billed Maiasaura ("good mother lizard")—nurtured their young in colonies, fundamentally changing how scientists viewed dinosaur social behaviour and parenting.
