The worse the country, the more tortured it is by water and wind, the more broken and carved, the more it attracts fossil hunters, who depend on the planet to open itself to us. We can only scratch away at what natural forces have brought to the surface.

I found my first dinosaur bone when I was 6, growing up in Montana. Ever since then I've been interested in dinosaurs.

Dinosaurs replace their teeth throughout their life. And T. rex replaced all of their teeth every year.

In the lifetime of one person, we went from figuring out where we came from to figuring out how to get rid of ourselves.

Almost all of my graduate students say that they got interested in dinosaurs because of 'Jurassic Park.'

Unfortunately, with dinosaurs, we haven't had enough specimens to determine how much variation there is within a species.

A dinosaur out of context is like a character without a story. Worse than that, the character suffers from amnesia.
