“I get this comment pretty frequently, not verbatim. ‘The thirst traps brought me in, but the education kept me here.’”

“When you split a rock down the middle and you find a fossil, you are the first pair of eyes to ever see this animal — or plant, or whatever it may be — in hundreds of millions of years. And that never ceases to blow my mind.”

Moreover the paleontologist’s love for fossils go all the way back to when he was 12 years old. At that age, it was his first time playing the 1998 video games Pokémon Red and Pokémon Blue, where you can catch a creature called Omanyte by reviving its fossil.

“When I made that connection, it snowballed into a childish obsession of paleontology that just never went away,” Fossil Daddy shared in an interview with Huff Post.
