Tracks in Deep Time : The St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm
Author：Jerald D. Harris, Andrew R. C. Milner
Publisher：University of Utah Press, 2016

Jerald D. Harris

• The director of paleontology at Dixie State University in St. George, Utah, USA, and is an advisor to the Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm.

Andrew R. C. Milner

• The site paleontologist and curator at the St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm. He has been at the site since its inception and now runs the museum's preparation laboratory and conducts field work in southern Utah, USA.
• In February 2000, while excavating his property in St. George, Utah, Sheldon Johnson turned over a piece of ground and discovered a fully preserved dinosaur footprint. Five years later, the St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm was established to preserve one of the richest and oldest dinosaur-age fossil sites in Utah. Tracks in Deep Time presents, for the first time, an engaging, thoroughly readable account of the history, geology, and paleontology of this important site. With approachable text and lavish, full-color photographs and illustrations, Jerald Harris and Andrew Milner describe how geologists and paleontologists have painstakingly reconstructed a vivid "snapshot" of life from the Early Jurassic epoch.
