| Summary: | "O. C. Marsh and Edward Drinker Cope were the world's first dinosaur hunters. They led the way to the badlands of the American West, where vast numbers of dinosaur fossils awaited discovery and excavation. In their frenzied race to unearth these prizes, Marsh and Cope entered a bitter rivalry which, though costly and unnecessary, spurred them on to greater efforts. Secrets of the dinosaur hunters traces this feud and explores the accomplishments of the pioneering paleontologists who opened up the age of dinosaurs to the public eye. Then, take a look at two modern cases that show how much the world of dinosaur hunting has changed: the auction of 'Sue,' a multi-million dollar T-Rex fossil, and 'Peck's Rex,' a potentially historic find"--www.storeaetv.com. |
