Dinosaur George’s uncle is missing!
Professor Stone was the world’s leading paleontologist. At least, until the day he disappeared. Now George is searching for him.
No one knows where Professor Stone is, but that’s not the only problem. They don’t know when he is either. Thanks to Dr. Morgan’s invention, the professor is lost in time.
To save his uncle, George joins a team of scientists and explorers. Armed with hi-tech gadgets, they will travel 65 million years into the past. Only history knows what they will discover.
Will George be the first human to see a living dinosaur?
Will he find his uncle before it’s too late?
Episode One: Raptor Island takes George to the Late Cretaceous of Southern Asia. It’s his first real chance to try out his amazing equipment and hopefully find a clue to Professor Stone’s whereabouts. But something is waiting on the island.
In a story packed with humor and excitement, experience the past like never before. Learn about dinosaurs and all of the latest theories of their existence. Don’t miss the PaleoFacts at the end of each episode with all the dino-details.
Genre: JUVENILE FICTION / Animals / Dinosaurs & Prehistoric CreaturesThis book has been primarily direct-marketed. The co-author is paleontologist "Dinosaur George" Blasing. George has a world-wide following. He has produced a TV series for the History Channel. Currently, George travels around his home state of Texas almost 200 days a year. He visits schools, libraries and special needs facilities. George brings copies of the book to each event for sale or donation. This book would benefit greatly from a Spanish language version, especially in Texas.
“How big do you think this thing is?” asked George. He did not want his excitement to get the better of him on his first dig.
Professor Evert Stone pushed his hat back on his head. The wide brim kept the muggy Florida sun out of his face. The field crew stayed busy while Professor Stone supervised with George at his side. Stone said, “It’s not a record breaker, if that’s what you’re asking.”
George knew dinosaurs. He loved dinosaurs. For all eighteen years of his young life, he studied dinosaurs. He studied everything prehistoric and that included mammoths. As soon as George got his high school diploma, he volunteered for an internship with his uncle, Professor Stone, to help him prepare for college. It happened to be the most fun summer of his life.
With only a few weeks to the start of his first semester of college, George went with Professor Stone to Florida to excavate a recently exposed fossil. A horse rancher was plowing one of his fields to make way for a bank of solar panels. It amused George that the rancher was about to become a sun farmer too. Because Florida was under water during the time of the dinosaurs, the state was known more for its ice age relics and creatures.
As one of the leading experts in the country, Professor Stone came to oversee the dig. The rancher suspected he did not uncover some ordinary rock. The Professor confirmed it was a fossil, the upper thigh bone of a mammoth to be precise.
