Summary of Paige Williams's The Dinosaur Artist - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The last day of his old life, the dinosaur hunter went to the beach. He was 38 years old. His daughter was three years old. He had never been a drinker, but now he needed the dulling effect of at least one vodka cocktail before he could sleep. #2 Amanda could look out the window of their house and see Eric working late into the night in his workshop.
He was a fossil dealer, and he sold fossils by email blast and on eBay. He also hosted a sales booth at the world's largest natural history shows. #3 The most popular collectibles were the ones you could put on a shelf as a conversation piece, like meteorites and mammal skulls. Dinosaurs transcended everything, though. They were far more successful than humans, and they dominated Earth for 166 million years.
#4 The skeleton of Tarbosaurus bataar, an Asian cousin of Tyrannosaurus rex, was sold at auction for $950, 000 to $1. 5 million. It had been advertised and featured in the news for weeks.
