The Control of Nature
“ 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. ”
― Jack Horner, How to Build a Dinosaur: Extinction Doesn't Have to Be Forever

“ I went into geology because I like being outdoors, and because everybody in geology seemed, well, they all seemed like free spirits or renegades or something. You know, climbing mountains and hiking deserts and stuff. ”
― Kathy B. Steele, Rocks That Float
