      SUMMARY

      The summer before her junior year, paleontology geek Natalie Page lands a coveted internship at an Ice Age dig site near Austin, Texas. Natalie, who’s also a plus-size fashion blogger, depends on the retro style and persona she developed to shield herself from her former bullies, but vintage dresses and designer heels aren’t compatible with digging for fossils. It’s a summer that promises to be about more than just mammoths. Until it isn’t. When Natalie’s paleontologist hero turns out to be anything but, and steals the credit for one of her accomplishments, she has to unearth the confidence she needs to stand out in a field dominated by men. To do this, she’ll have to let her true self shine, even if that means defying the rules and risking her life for the sake of a major discovery. While sifting through dirt, she finds more than fossils—she finds out that she is truly awesome.

      EXCERPT

      Fossilista.com – Monday, June 13

      Look of the Day:

      Green polka-dot swing dress (made by me!)

      Turquoise patent belt (Savage Swallow)

      Turquoise patent peep-toe pumps (vintage, Cara Donna)

      Fashion Doll pink lipstick (Maxwell Cosmetics)

      Turquoise headband (Savage Swallow)

      Leather Cuff Bracelet (Kathryn Arbor Designs)

      Here we go, fossilistas—first day of the internship! Today’s all about site orientation. This is the same place I blogged about a few months back—remember the post about the stupid lawsuit? I still doubt the family of the original landowner will really be able to claim all the site’s fossils, but if they do…Well, I’m lucky to intern here while it still exists.

      More soon! Too excited to type anymore right now, haha.

      Chapter Four

      Things I don’t include in my Fossilista post:

      1. How hard it is to grab enough time in a shared bathroom to get my makeup and hair done.

      2. How awkward it is when I’m trying to wing my eyeliner just right and Quinn barges in to pee and shower. (Sorry, I grew up sharing a bathroom with three older sisters, she says as I try to ignore her undressing in the mirror next to me. You lose all sense of shame when you have to fight a crowd like that for bathroom time. Yeah, I guess.)

      3. The fact that I can’t take a full breath in the shaper I wear underneath my dress.

      Dr. Lauren is waiting for us in the Mammoth Site’s welcome center, along with an older man with graying hair and a magnificent beard. He welcomes us, introducing himself as Dr. Vincent Gallagher, the site’s director. I’ve read about his career; Dr. Gallagher is one of the field’s leading experts in paleontological taphonomy, the study of how organisms decay and fossilize. He’s also renowned for his efforts to improve and expand the site.

      This is our main lobby. Dr. Gallagher spreads his arms; although his voice is tight and nervous, he beams at the opportunity to introduce us to the site. We just completed a renovation two years ago. We’re really proud of how the place came out.

      It’s pretty impressive. Textured beige floor tiles are interrupted here and there by a line of life-size simulated mammoth footprints, each of which measures close to eighteen inches across. A bronze statue of a baby mammoth stands frozen in mid-march in the middle of the room, and a mural of a mammoth herd stretches up the wall behind the polished wood reception desk. To the right is a small gift shop, set behind a glass divider. I remember the lawsuit I read about months ago. The idea that a site this grand, this permanent could lose its fossils is unimaginable – it’d be like New York City being ordered to hand the Statue of Liberty back to France, or England tearing down Buckingham Palace.

      At the reception desk, a girl about our age (the digital display in my mind lights up at 115) studies us with slightly narrowed eyes. We get a similarly chilly glance from a guy near the back door.

      It’s looking great, Quinn says. You guys were working out of a trailer last time I was here. This is a million times better.

      Dr. Gallagher nods at her. Thank you, Quinn.

      Paleontology is a small field; it shouldn’t surprise me that Quinn Carver has been here before, or that Dr. Gallagher already knows her. I’m suddenly brimming with the desire to distinguish myself. This is my element—this place, this field, this profession – and I’m determined to mark it as such. Quinn might try to claim Chase, but paleontology is mine.

      Didn’t you also expand the dig shelter during that renovation? I blurt out before I can second-guess myself.

      Dr. Gallagher smiles again, a broad, proud Cheshire-crescent in a nest of beard. Yes! Yes, we did. You’ve done your homework, I see.

      Natalie Page, I say, stepping forward and forcing my right hand out to shake his. I hope he doesn’t notice that I’m trembling.

      Of course, Miss Page. His eyes crinkle around the edges. The…prehistoric hipster. Was that how you put it? Your application essay was very memorable.

      To my left, Quinn shifts her weight from one foot to the other. When I glance from the corner of my eye, I swear I catch her glaring.

      Dr. Gallagher checks his watch. I’m due for a breakfast meeting with some of our benefactors, so I’m going to hand this over to Dr. Lauren. I’m leaving you all in good hands. I hope the next month proves to be an enriching experience for all of you. After that, he’s gone, rushing out the front door. I get the feeling he’s relieved to leave things up to Dr. Lauren.

      Prehistoric hipster? Chase whispers.

      I don’t look at him. My essay was about why I like prehistoric mammals better than dinosaurs even though dinosaurs are more popular.

      Dr. Lauren taps her clipboard against the front desk. All right, let’s get started. This is where guests pay for admission. Back behind reception are offices, supplies, and the break room. Martina, one of our summer employees, is working the reception desk today, and Cody’s giving tours.

      The girl behind the reception desk raises an unenthusiastic hand in something that sort of resembles a brief wave.

      We pass through the welcome center and exit through the back door, following Dr. Lauren.

      That building will be our museum, she says, waving her clipboard toward a partially completed structure along the paved path. It’s slated to open next year. Tour groups follow this path down to the dig shelter. I’m going to start you off by sending you on the nine o’clock tour with Cody. Then we’ll take a quick walk around a little more of the property while I talk about prospecting.

      We pass Cody as we file back into the welcome center. His surly expression has softened into something more welcoming thanks to the presence of half a dozen tourists.

      They’re all yours, Cody, Dr. Lauren says. I’ll be back in an hour to show them the rest of the trails. Guys, you’ll all be giving tours this summer, so pay attention to how Cody handles this. The four of us join the tour group while Dr. Lauren and the senior interns disappear down the back hallway. I take out my phone – I can snap some photos for my blog.

      Cody mostly ignores us, focusing instead on the paying guests. He is tall, with light olive skin and dark hair that flops down close to his dark eyes. Strong-jawed, wide-shouldered, probably about our age. If it weren’t for that dull, sullen stare he’d given us earlier, he’d be pretty cute.

      Welcome to the Central Texas Mammoth Site, he begins, pulling his vowels in the slight drawl of a local boy. We’re about to see some Columbian mammoth fossils. The Columbian mammoths in this region were larger than their woolly counterparts up north. That’s a lifesize bull on the wall. He points to the largest mammoth in the mural. If I were to stand beside it, I’d only reach halfway to its enormous shoulder.

      "The site has been active since the discovery of our first mammoth back in 1982; it opened to the public as an in situ dig
