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.
