Summary:

"Scientists who study dinosaurs often have to be good detectives. And like detectives, they sometimes come to the wrong conclusions. That's what happened when George Olson discovered the first Oviraptor fossil. Learn why Olson named the new dinosaur 'egg stealer' and how later scientists finally uncovered the truth about Oviraptor. Additional features to enhance comprehension include informative sidebars, a glossary of key words and phrases, sources for further research, a Did-You-Know section, and an overview of the geologic time scale"--Publisher description.
