My guest today is Peter Larson, an American paleontologist, fossil collector, and president of the Black Hills Institute of Geological Research, a company that excavates, prepares, and sells fossils. He led the team that excavated \\u201cSue\\u201d, the largest and most complete specimen of Tyrannosaurus rex found to date, and has published numerous scientific and popular works on dinosaur paleontology.

The topic is paleontology.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

  • Luck\\u2019s role in finding dinosaurs
  • Larson\\u2019s personal anecdotes about finding \\u201cSue\\u201d
  • Whether Larson knew at the time that he was finding a piece of \\u201cland\\u201d in a legal sense
  • The scientific data that Larson was able to glean before the government took the bones
  • Telling a male dinosaur from a female dinosaur
  • What makes Larson a T-Rex entrepreneur
  • T-Rex as a predator or scavenger
  • The legal case surrounding \\u201cSue\\u201d
