Dinosaurs under the Aurora

Acknowledgments

ix ACKNOWLEDGMENTS To the hundreds of volunteers, teachers, and students that gave their time, sweat, and blood to unearth the story of Alaska’s Arctic dinosaurs, I am eternally thankful. Over my eighteen years of work in Alaska, I benefited greatly from the help and counsel of a host of colleagues. Some of the contributions of a number of these colleagues are described in the book, but I must acknowledge here the enormous contributions of time and valuable counsel of my Alaskan colleagues: Kevin May, Dave Norton, Anne Pasch, Don Triplehorn, Gary Selinger, and Gary Grassi. I must extend a special thank you to Canadian colleagues Philip Currie, Richard McCrea, David Eberth, Donald Brinkman, Darren Tanke, Grant Zazula, John, Storer, and David Evans, who, along with Thomas Rich, Patricia Vickers-Rich, Pascal Godefroit, Kyle Davies, M. K. Brett-Surman, Tony Fiorillo, and Mark Goodwin, generously shared their expertise, publications , and data. Jørn Hurum, John Tarduno, and Patrick Druckenmiller shared their valuable insights and field images. David Smith, Karen Carr, Buff and Gerald Corsi provided graphics and their valuable time. Judy Scotchmoor, Robert Sloan, and James Farlow provided valuable editorial assistance to help make this book better. DINOSAURS UNDER THE AURORA This page intentionally left blank ...
