Measuring nearly 6 metres long from head to tail, around 90% of the animal - nicknamed Sophie - is preserved, making it both incredibly rare and valuable.This is the story of Sophie's dramatic discovery in the hills of Wyoming, USA and her journey to the high-tech laboratories of theNatural History Museum, where her arrival led to the first detailed study of a Stegosaurus for almost 100 years. This book sheds new light on this iconic but often misunderstood dinosaur species.
