Praise for Cruisin’ the Fossil Coastline
“This book is a knockout blend of science and humor, featuring superb artwork, people, and stories about the West Coast of the US and its fascinating prehistory. This book will make you laugh while exciting you with extraordinary science. It revives that sense of childhood wonder about dinosaurs and other bizarre creatures of bygone days.”
—John Long, paleontology professor and author Dawn of the Deed

—Publishers Weekly
“Cruisin’ the Fossil Coastline packs written and visual stories from cover to cover—all infused with a genuine passion for science and the joy of discovery.”
—Susan Ewing, author of Resurrecting the Shark
