Okay, so have you ever read any of Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files? Because if you have, you know just how awesome necromancy X paleontology can be. 

(“They say he stole the only known specimen of an Andrewsarchus skull.”

"Did he? Why? To sell it?"

"First, yes, third, no, second…he had some ideas about how to find out what it looked like when it was alive."

"But Sandy, what did he think he could do that others couldn’t?"

Sandy just smiles at Jack. “Not think, kid. Knew.” He laughs. “But you wouldn’t believe me if I told you now. If we’re lucky, you’ll never see anything that’ll make you believe what I could tell you.”

A roar sounds in the distance. Faint, but not faint enough.

"But I’ve never been that lucky," Sandy says.)
