JURASSIC CASH

Dinosaur fossils are the new gold with record breaking auction sales every year. Rich and passionate private collectors are driving this new Bone rush 2.0. with more and more rare fossils ending up in private hands.

The « rush » is on with fortune-seekers and professional excavators racing to unearth new fossils hoping to find the next Big John (full skeletons auctioned by rich collectors). From Jurassic World to Jurassic Cash, will science and museums be deprived of these dinosaur skeletons which have inspired generations of Paleontologists?

The film grants exclusive access to the largest Triceratops sale taking place in Paris in October 2021 and meets private collectors and paleontologists to nourish the debate and question the best way to combine private funding with science.
