First sentence: This is a true adventure story about five men who went to the North Slope of Alaaska in 1994 in search of frozen, unfossilized dinosaur bones.
Description: In 1994, 5 explorers braved the dangers and miseries of the northern Alaskan wilderness to find and bring home bones from the Liscomb Bed - an area rife with fossilized and Unfossilized bones of dinosaurs! Analysis of their specimens was not complete when the book was published, but since then, it appears that red blood cells were still present in the frozen bones. How they survived cold, exhaustion, quicksand, a gushing leak in a raft, and mosquitos by the millions, is as interesting as what they brought back!
