Book description
On the 7th of May 1903, William H.Ferguson discovered the first dinosaur bone from Australia. Ferguson wasn't even looking for dinosaurs. He was prospecting for coal along the Victorian coast when he made the find, and sent the 52mm bone to England to be analysed, where it was identified as a specimen of 'megalosaurus'.

This book commemorates the 100th anniversary of Ferguson's find, and looks at the subsequent hundred years of dinosaur discoveries in Australia.
