About

Biography of paleontologist Joan Wiffen who by 1982 had conclusively proved that dinosaurs once lived in New Zealand.

In the 1970s an amateur paleontologist, Joan Wiffen, began making discoveries from a remote site in Hawke’s Bay. This is her story.

It is the story of how an ordinary housewife upon retirement decided that she wanted to do something different with her life. Hers is an adventure that would eventually lead to international acclaim and recognition. After years of exacting research, often in appalling conditions, her discoveries have revolutionised our thinking about our past.

To many people she is simply known as the ‘Dinosaur Woman’.

Includes monochrome images and fine line illustrations.
