WORLD PREMIERE Dr. Thomas Carr leads the Institute of Paleontology at Carthage College in Kenosha, Wisconsin. When his team uncovers juvenile T. rex fossils in Montana’s Hell Creek Formation, it’s a scientific achievement for the small program, but financial implications loom over the institute. Commercial bone hunters, fossil brokers, and billionaire buyers cloud the supposedly noble work of the scientific community. In this incisive examination of the commercial fossil industry, modern paleontology goes under the magnifying glass. - Brandon Harrison
