When I was growing up in Montana I had two dreams: I wanted to be a paleontologist and I wanted to have a pet dinosaur and so that's what I've been striving for all of my life.

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

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.

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

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

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

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