RE: "Dinosaur Cowboy" movies

Oddly, I received Jordan's reply to this message over 10 minutes before I 
received the original!

Here's sort of one:
"Valley of the Gwangi" is not about fossil hunters, and not exactly in the 
Old West (It takes place in Mexico, around the 1900's).  It does have 
cowboys and a British paleontologist ("Sir Horace Bromley"  - thank you IMDb 
:-)), as well as an _Eohippus_.

I think you would need to option about 6 different books in order to film a 
Cope vs. Marsh movie (just to be sure that you didn't get sued).
