7 1/2 Cinema Presents - When Crocs ate Dinosaurs Project Exploration & Revolutionary Book Store

"I see paleontology as 'adventure with a purpose'.  How else to describe a science that allows you to romp in remote corners of the globe, resurrecting gargantuan creatures that have never been seen?  And the trick to big fossil finds? You've got to be able to go where no one has gone before" - Paul Sereno
