STACY McANULTY isn't a dinosaur fan. She has three children, two pets, and a spouse. She discovered a little dinosaur fossil while on a dinosaur excavation in Wyoming. It wasn't an egg, either. Stacy was born and raised in upstate New York, but currently resides in North Carolina. Stacy McAnulty's website is stacymcanulty.com. (She still wants a dinosaur, ideally a Spinosaurus.)
