In fact, Lot 49135 consisted of a nearly complete T. bataar, a close cousin to T. rex, the most famous animal that ever lived. The fossils now on display in Manhattan had been unearthed in Mongolia, some 6,000 miles away. At 8 feet high and 24 feet long, the specimen was spectacular, and the final gavel signaled a winning bid of well over $1 million. Eric Prokopi, a thirty-eight-year-old Floridian, was the man who had brought this extraordinary skeleton to market. A onetime swimmer who spent his teenage years searching for shark teeth, Prokopi's singular obsession with fossils generated a thriving business hunting, preparing, and selling specimens, to clients ranging from natural history museums to avid private collectors like actor Leonardo DiCaprio. But there was a problem. This time, facing financial strain, had Prokopi gone too far? As the T. bataar went to auction, a network of paleontologists alerted the government of Mongolia to the eye-catching lot. As an international custody battle ensued, fueled by geopolitics, Prokopi watched as his own world unraveled."-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Prokopi, Eric. 650 0 $a Tyrannosaurus $z Mongolia. 650 0 $a Fossils $x Moral and ethical aspects. $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Fossils $x Collection and preservation $z Mongolia. 650 0 $a Fossils $x Collectors and collecting $z Florida. 650 0 $a Audiobooks. 700 1 $a Archer, Ellen $c (Narrator), $e narrator. 710 2 $a Hachette Audio (Firm) 710 2 $a Blackstone Publishing. 710 2 $a Playaway Digital Audio. 710 2 $a Findaway World, LLC. 941 $a 2 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240125011024.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204093734.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D0445F26163711E9B7068CFC96128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWRInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
