Cruisin' the Fossil Freeway follows the zany travels of a
paleontologist and an artist as they drive across the
American West in search of fossils. Throughout their
journey, they encounter "paleonerds" like themselves, men
and women dedicated to finding everything from suburban T.
rexes to killer Eocene pigs to ancient fossilized forests.
Much of their travels are spent in remote places few people
visit, where they discover small-town museums packed with
paleontological treasures, rock quarries that have yielded
hundreds of fossilized bones, and the remains of ancient
seashores tracked with the footprints of dinosaurs. What
soon becomes evident is that fossils are everywhere; it only
takes knowing what to look for to find them--even at 65
miles per hour.
