The book introduces paleontologists, explains what fossils are and why they matter, and connects evidence from different periods to evolution, atmosphere, climate, and disease. It highlights excavation and scientific discovery via examples such as George F. Sternberg’s fossil finds, encouraging curiosity about how researchers interpret Earth’s distant past and what it can suggest for the

fossils to learnabout life on Earth in the past.In 1892,George visited his father ata dig site along Beaver Creek in Kansas.While there,he made hisown fossil discovery-the nearly complete skeleton of a plesiosaur!  \nPlesiosaurs were water-dwelling reptiles that lived between228 million and 65 million years ago.George's fossil find wasespecially fascinating because Kansas is a dry,flat state.Findinga plesiosaur fossil near Beaver Creek meant Kansas must havebeen covered with water at one time!  \nGeorge was only 9 years old when he found the plesiosaurskeleton.It was his first fossil discovery.George grew up to be apaleontologist,just like his father and uncle.  \nSPOTLIGHTI  \nGEORGE F.STERNBERG WENT TO SCHOOL TOSTUDY FOSSILS,'BUT HE ALSO LEARNED A LOTABOUT PALEONTOLOGY FROM HIS FATHER.  \n# An Amazing Find\n\nIn 1952,George F.Sternberg helped excavate,or dig up,anotheramazing fossil in Kansas:a fish inside another fish!Shortly
