"The world has not always been as it is today.
Much knowledge had to be gathered, and much patient observation was needed, before this was recognized. There are still things to be discovered, for the veil of mystery has not yet been stripped from all these secrets. Perhaps they will be discovered tomorrow, perhaps in a year, perhaps not for a hundred years. Time is not so important as the certain knowledge that one day they will be brought to light and that the darkness which surrounds all mysteries will melt away."
Prehistoric reptiles and birds, Dr Josef Augusta,
Ill. by Zdenek Burian, Trans. by Margaret Schiel, 1961
A young paleontologist may have discovered a record of the most significant event in the history of life on Earth.
