Cats can be aloof, then turn around and crave attention. In a similar way, I really enjoy time by myself, but I also thoroughly enjoy getting together with friends and having fun. When I was little I wanted to be an archeologist, which is also a science of searching for and studying things from the past. I love nature and mysteries. So, I think it was pretty natural for me to enjoy the mystery of fossils.
Children are naturally curious and they love animals.
They are especially excited about dinosaurs. Dinosaur fossils draw many children and then they learn there are other interesting extinct animals to learn about. When they discover they can find fossils on their own, that adds to the excitement. The very idea of treasure is exciting. But beyond these glittering treasures found in crown jewels, minerals are used to produce products we use everyday.
