Join us to discuss The Dinosaur Artist: Obsession, Betrayal, and the Quest for Earth's Ultimate Trophy by Paige Williams

Eric Prokopi hoped that the auction of his carefully reconstructed Tarbosaurus bataar skeleton (a near-relation of Tyrannosaurus Rex found in the Gobi desert) would be a financial windfall and another great achievement in his decades-long fascination with finding and preparing fossils. Instead, it sparked an international controversy, a criminal investigation, and turned a spotlight on centuries of conflict over Earth's oldest treasures. 

Copies of the book will be available at the Circulation Desk one month before the meeting date. eBook copies are available through Axis 360 with your FPLD library card.

Please note: Spaces are limited.  Registration is required.
