Fossil Country

In an isolated Wyoming mining town, hardscrabble fossil hunters make astounding discoveries that change what we know about the earth's history. These 'fossil people' are a tough breed, surviving by their wits in the Green River Formation, ground zero for the best fossil collecting in the world. Geology, history, and entrepreneurship all come to life through human stories of diggers seeking a rare discovery - and a big payday.
