Cruisin' the Fossil Freeway (Fulcrum, $29.95) 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. What soon becomes evident is that fossils are everywhere; it only takes knowing what to look for to find them—even at 65mph.
