When Jack Homer is on the job, he lives in a tent.And he hunts from sunup to sundown across the plains of Montana.

"When I'm walking around the field looking for things, I run across snakes and, occasionally, grizzly bears," Homer says.Horner is curator of paleontology (古生物学)at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana. 71

Horner finds dinosaurs in the forms of fossilized bones.He uses these bones to help scientists understand how dinosaurs lived when they ruled the earth more than 65 million years ago.

72 To locate a good spot to hunt for them.Horner uses a geologic map "I just look up the geologic age in which dinosaurs lived," Horner says."I look on the map to see where that rock is exposed at the surface of the ground.And then I walk I around in those areas looking for bones." 73 They dig out the bones using tools as big as jackhammers and as small as dental picks.Then they take the bones, wrapped in plaster casts for protection, back to the museum.

Horner is so good at finding and interpreting dinosaur bones that he is considered one of the leading paleontologists in the world.In 1978, he discovered the first nest of baby dinosaurs ever found.The nest was the first evidence that Dinosaurs cared for their young. 74 Paleontologists got to know how dinosaurs laid their eggs and how they took care of their young.Paleontologists learned all sorts of things that people hadn't even guessed at before.

Horner says some people think his job very romantic and assume that he is a daring adventurer. 75 " Getting the stuff out of the ground when it' s snowing or blowing 40 miles an hour can be miserable.Of course, it can get to be 110 degrees with no shade too." But Horner also admits that he wouldn't be a dinosaur hunter if it were not exciting.

A.Actually, the job is mostly hard work.

B.Later, trained workers go to the "dig" site.

C.Dinosaur bones are usually buried in rock.

D.Or, to put it another way, he is a dinosaur hunter.

E.I construct the evidence the same way as a detective does.

F.He also takes a lot of notes and photographs to record wha t he has found.

G.Horner' s discovery put paleontologists into a new area of understanding dinosaur behavior.
