Find a Dinosaur Fossil
Topic: Goals
I've done this. Sort of.

I've found fossils before; who hasn't? They're everywhere. From impressions of ferns, to petoskey stones... fossils are all around. And I've found things like that.

But my childhood goal was to find a complete fossil of an honest-to-by-Gods dinosaur. Brachiosaurus was high on my list of hope-to-find fossils. Or maybe a Tyrannosaurus Rex. Triceratops was neat. I had a model of a flying pteranodon in my bedroom, hanging from my ceiling, for a long time; one of those would have been cool too.

Needless to say, I haven't found one.

So when I heard about that kind that found a whole velociraptor skeleton in Montana a few years back, I wanted to kick him all the way back in time to when the beastie was still moving, and he looked like an hors d'oevre.

Uhm... er... I mean... I was happy for him. Truly.
