I don’t know what my parents thought they were getting me, but it’s a 380 page book on United States vs One Tyrannosaurus Bataar Skeleton* and so of course I had a fabulous time. Some history of Mongolia, some history of fossil hunting, some (a lot) fossil hunting drama, the bizarrities of the US legal system, info on how to smuggle fossils places…

One factual error (a young female horse is a filly, not a colt), a couple of editing misses, but 80 pages of footnotes (ALL of which I read, marry me Paige) make up for a lot of flaws. 

* It's actually a Tarbosaurus but hey.
