4.0 out of 5 starsFascinating if one-sided look at dinosaurs and government overreach
By Amazon Customer on August 14, 2014
Format: Amazon Video
The discovery of "Sue", the most complete Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil ever unearthed, should have been a cause for celebration. How could it not be? Everybody loves dinosaurs, right? We make movies about them, color them purple and have them educate our kids on television, and of course they are the biggest draw for most museums the world over. So how can such a discovery turn into a morass of greed, murky legal disputes, and prison sentences? The fascinating documentary Dinosaur 13 tells you exactly how such a happy event became a public nightmare.

Directed by Todd Douglas Miller, the film is based on the passionate novel by paleontologist Peter Larson, who along with volunteer Susan Derrickson ("Sue" is named after her) and his brother Neal discovered "Sue" in 1990 in a questionable path of land in South Dakota. Questionable because it was found on the property of morally dubious land owner Maurice Williams, who bypassed the usual ownership agreements in a show of friendship. The Larsons planned on excavating the remarkable find, said to be about 80% complete, and house it in their small museum in the tiny town of Hill City. Before they could really get started, a joint FBI/Coast Guard unit had swooped in with an intimidating show of force, claimed the fossil (while townspeople protested "Save Sue!") and boxed it up in a government storage facility where it would remain for more than a decade.

What began as a cheerful story of discovery quickly becomes a complicated jumble of accusations and legalese, with Miller giving many of the principles their chance to speak.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsBattle of the Bones: The Little Town That Saved The Bones and The Discoverer!
By lapisblue on November 19, 2014
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
Big fun to share some solid joy of discovery on actual big-fossil hunts in this documentary. Worth it for the home-movie grade films of some hippie-lookin' grad students, palentologists, and dedicated amateurs making important discoveries way back when, 40 years ago up in the rocky places in South Dakota's badlands.

But there's also a 4-way struggle going on here, and it turns out to be the shocking, escalating Government seizure of property that's at the center of everything.That's the real monster hiding in the giant shadow of T-Rex.

Looks like the co-discoverer of The Rex Named Sue, paleontologist Pete Larson, was actually prosecuted and jailed for 18 months because he refused to cut a deal with the FBI! You'll want to watch, and get your kids to watch, how it all works out. Heart warming and scary, all at once..

Paleontologist Larson tried to make the government answer for a couple things: highly suspicious decade-long massive searches and property seizure, and apparent, well, dicking with the original contract that permitted his group to dig, process, and sell the famous rex fossil.

The FBI apparently claimed faulty papers on some fossil acquisition and sales was enough to seize double digit millions of $$ worth of completely unrelated fossils, educational reproductions and minerals, as well as to continue "confiscating" all the necessary computers and tools and lock out two warehouses, other words, to basically gut the legitimate business that supported a dozen families in a tiny town with few jobs and nothing but fossils and small cattle ranches to create income.Read more ›

Amazing documentary. Not fictional like many of the new documentaries about mermaids and megaladon. Worth watching. This documentary will really show you how corrupt our justice system is.

3.0 out of 5 starsWas covered better by earlier sources.
By eagseags on January 30, 2015
Format: DVD
"Dinosaur 13" is a 95 minute 2014 documentary film directed by Todd Douglas Miller, which premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival. I recently saw this film on DVD. The topic of the film is the Tyrannosaurus named "Sue" and the legal battles around her in the 1990's. The title comes from the fact that Sue is the 13th discovered specimen of Tyrannosaurus. (One might think "Tyrannosaurus 13" would be a more accurate title.) There are now about 50 specimens, but Sue still remains the most complete, and one of the largest and best preserved.

For those of you who did not follow this case at the time, let me summarize. The Sue specimen was discovered in 1990 near Faith, South Dakota by Susan Hendrickson (hence the nickname of the specimen). Sue lay on land held in trust for Maurice Williams by the federal government. Sue was collected by Peter and Neal Larson of the Black Hills Institute (a commercial fossil company), who paid Williams $5000 for the specimen. After being partly prepared, Sue was seized by the FBI and put in a warehouse at the South Dakota School of Mines. The issue was whether Sue was excavated on land held by the US government, from which it is illegal to remove fossils without special permission. After a protracted legal battle in which four parties claimed ownership of Sue (BHI, Maurice Williams, the Cheyenne River Sioux, and the US government), Sue was release to Maurice Williams, who sold her via auction at Sotheby's in 1997 at a price of $8.6 million. The buyer was the Chicago Field Museum, financed by Disney and McDonalds.

The good news is that Sue ended up at a public institution and went on display in 2000, without the sponsoring corporations taking commercial advantage of it.Read more ›
