Paleontologist and Geologist Dr. Ken Lacovara joins WIRED to answer the internet's burning questions about fossils. Can we extract dinosaur DNA from fossils? How is crude oil made from fossils? Where are the most common places to find fossils worldwide? How can you give yourself the best chance to become a fossil after you die? Did we ever find the crater from the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs? Answers to these questions and plenty more await on Fossil Support.
