"Fossil fascination leads to prize
U. of C. senior wins Marshall Scholarship for study in England with leaders in the field of paleontology"

"Stephen Brusatte sees more than just a large chunk of bumpy plastic as he's running his narrow fingers over the cast of an ancient fossil."

"The worn, red and black likeness, a re-creation of a bone fragment left behind by a giant meat eater with a name 19 letters long, is just the type of tool he'll need to hold the interest of those who might otherwise yawn at such a finding."

"Brusatte, 21-year-old senior at the University of Chicago, learned this month that he won the prestigious British Marshall Scholarship, which will allow him to study in England for two years."
