THE BONES

Paleontologists are in a race against time to unearth dinosaur fossils that may hold the key to save humanity from extinction, before THE BONES disappear into the hands of fossil dealers. It’s a story of intrigue, an illicit caper at the collision of science, commerce, and a dark colonial legacy.

Paleontologist Bolor Minjin, the first scientist to ever repatriate fossils that had been stolen from
Mongolia, travels through her homeland training the next generation of Mongolians to be the guardians of the bones. In Morocco, Nizar Ibrahim leads a team into the Saharan desert on a quest to unearth the next great scientific discovery, but must negotiate with fossil dealers who want big money for the same bones. Meanwhile, French collector and fossil dealer Francois Escuillier introduces us to the questionable world of buying and selling dinosaur bones, which today can be worth millions of dollars.
