Extract

Every Young kid will tell you that dinosaurs and fossils are really cool or, in the words of one four-year old, “dinosaurs are cool, and fossils are the best!” Dinosaurs and fossils are the window through which most kids and many adults now get their first introduction to science. Paleontology is art, science, and imagination; it inspires a wealth of curiosity by students about ancient life and helps all of us to know about our origins and how our world with humans came to be.
