Dinosaur 13 sheds a huge amount of light on the problems that Paleontologists face on a daily basis, fighting among themselves over who is "qualified" more so than the other. It also sheds light on the ridiculousness that the United States government serves to its people. The sheer fact that the government would issue a claim to a fossil that was not even (technically) discovered on US soil and later retract their own claim shows how truly money hungry they are. It also shows how dishonest and shameful the Native man, Maurice, was to the paleontologists he claimed were his friends. I am a dinosaur enthusiast myself, and I have taken some university classes on Paleontology. It sickens me to know that a fossil like Sue, who has so very much to teach the scientific community, could be purchased by some rich private collector only to be stored away in a room somewhere. I feel that scientifically important specimens should immediately be surrendered to a museum or a university to be studied, not to be another material possession for man to soil with his money and greasy hands. If you are as intrigued by Paleontology as I am, then this Documentary will have you yelling at your television screen and crying right along with the people of the institute at the travesties that our own people have committed against themselves.
