Book excerpt: How can one account for the thrill of finding a fossil? Partly it comes from the straight forward excitement of unearthing buried treasure; partly from the romance of realizing that the object in your hand was alive millions of years before mankind appeared on earth; and partly, from the exultant realization that, no matter how common the fossil you have found, you are the first human being to see that particular one.
