In the much-awaited sequel to the bestselling book, "Cruisin' The Fossil Freeway", we are back on another road trip with paleontologist Kirk Johnson and artist Ray Troll. This time the two friends drive, fly, and boat their way from Baja California to northern Alaska in search of the fossil secrets of North America's Pacific coast. They hunt for fossils, visit museums, meet scientists and paleonerds and sleuth out untold stories of extinct worlds. As one of the oldest coasts on Earth, the West Coast is a rich ground for fossil discovery. Its wonders include extinct marine mammals, pygmy mammoths, oyster bears, immense ammonites, shark-bitten camels, polar dinosaurs, Alaskan palms, California walruses and a lava-baked rhinoceros. Join in for a fossil journey through deep time and discover how the West Coast came to be the place it is today.
Ran into Ray Troll‘s band on the street today in Astoria OR where they are playing. A twisted naturalist and artist with a wicked sense of humor. Has an exhibit at the Oakland CA art museum right now.
