At Dartmouth, he finished second in the 1000 meters to the Big Green's John McCright (last year's Heps winner). But he was sick with a common cold this weekend and had to drop out of the 3000, his only race...
Around the time of the mass extinction, the fossil site was apparently in a 300-mile-long rift valley fringed with high mountains. The climate swung between wet and dry spells every 20,000 years or so, leaving telltale alternating layers of lake sediments and sandstone visible on the present-day cliffs. "When it rained," says Olsen, "chunks of rock and mud raced down the mountainsides and buried large swaths of ground." Many of the now fossilized animals escaped the slides, only to be trapped in cracks that opened as the mud flow dried and shrank. Olsen believes the animals...
