A BOOK OF GIGANTIC PROPORTIONS

In 1983, two rustic Okies discovered a major dinosaur quarry inside a corporate waste-holding pit near the Mountain Fork River in southeastern Oklahoma.  

It took the two amateurs almost four years to finish the dig and remove the articulated skeleton from the land owned by a powerful multinational corporation.  Thereafter, when the Corporation and academia learned the value of their world-class dinosaur specimen, a fierce conflict ensued over rightful ownership and possession of the giant carnivorous beast, equivalent in size and ferocity to the mighty T-Rex, but 50 million years older and much more rare.  

The struggle to save the decrepit bones and protect their vested interest in the "Mountain Fork Monster" propelled the two men on a long, arduous journey with horrendous consequences.
