Dinosaur Wars (DVD)

The greatest rivalry in American paleontology. Dinosaur Wars is the story of two talented pioneers of paleontology, O.C. Marsh and Edward Cope, whose onceprofessional rivalry soured into a bitter personal feud. Together, Marsh and Cope were responsible for identifying more than 142 different species - including triceratops, stegosaurus and a variety of theropods - and for introducing dinosaurs into the American imagination, but their legacy would be forever marred by two decades of ruthless infighting, espionage and sabotage. With dramatic reconstructions and expert analysis of how far these two men advanced the field of paleontology, this remarkable programme tells the true story of 30 years of competition that became a bitter and intense rivalry.
