Van Turner Quotations

I found parts all the way from cranial elements to the tail. I found individual vertebrae and fused pieces of two or three vertebrae. I knew it was very old by the color an almost chocolate brown and it was almost perfectly preserved.

Science marches slowly, and my biggest fear all along has been that another specimen of the same animal would be found, and it would be described, and I would lose any first claim to it. That never happened, and it kind of reassured the rarity of the animal.

This just goes to show you that what you want is a lot of people looking for stuff. You want them to be able to recognize important finds or have the people who can do it.
