There's no environment I can think of that would have remained constant enough to preserve dinosaur DNA.

I also discovered the only complete Brontosaurus skull.

What you do on a dinosaur expedition is you hike and look at the ground. You find bones sticking out of the dirt and, once you see something, you dig.

I've always loved dinosaurs.

Now, to find dinosaurs, you hike around in horrible conditions looking for a dinosaur. It sounds really dumb, but that's what it is. It's horrible conditions, because wherever you have nice weather, plants grow, and you don't get any erosion, and you don't see any dinosaurs.

My father had owned a ranch when he was younger, in Montana, and he remembered riding his horse across the prairie and seeing some large bones sticking out of the ground. He was enough of a geologist, being a sand and gravel man, to have a pretty good notion that they were dinosaur bones.

Triceratops is very common: they are the cows of the Cretaceous; they are everywhere.

I'm trying to figure out the biology of dinosaurs and what they were like as living creatures.

I think most of the dinosaur specimens we find represent subadult sizes.

We all have a dinosaur deep within us just trying to get out.
