In a series of recently unsealed court documents and deposition transcripts obtained from her federal prison facility, Ghislaine Maxwell has provided new details about a 1993 trip she says she took with Jeffrey Epstein and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The revelation, buried among hundreds of pages of legal filings, centers on what Maxwell describes as an “unforgettable excursion” to a remote fossil site in the American West, where the trio reportedly hunted for dinosaur bones.
According to Maxwell’s sworn statements, the journey took place over several days in late summer 1993. She claims Epstein, already a wealthy financier with eclectic interests, arranged the private travel and secured access to a paleontological dig through personal connections. Kennedy, then in his late 30s and known primarily for his environmental activism rather than political office, joined as what Maxwell calls “a mutual friend fascinated by natural history.” The group flew into a small airstrip, then traveled by helicopter and off-road vehicles to a location Maxwell declines to pinpoint precisely, citing “ongoing sensitivities.”
Maxwell’s account is vivid in places. She recalls Epstein’s enthusiasm for the prehistoric finds, describing how he paid local guides handsomely to let them keep select specimens. She says Kennedy was “genuinely thrilled” when they unearthed a large theropod vertebra, spending hours discussing evolutionary biology around a campfire. Photographs, she asserts, were taken—though none have surfaced publicly—and the bones themselves were later donated to a private collection, with Epstein covering the paperwork.
The deposition does not allege criminal activity during the trip. Instead, Maxwell frames it as evidence of the “normal, even intellectual” social circles Epstein moved in during the early 1990s, long before his later convictions. Legal analysts note the timing is strategic: by surfacing a seemingly innocuous anecdote involving a prominent American political name, Maxwell appears to be attempting to normalize her past associations and shift focus away from the trafficking allegations that defined her trial.
Kennedy’s representatives have not commented on the specific claims, though a prior statement from his office described any association with Epstein as “limited and regrettable.” The mention of a dinosaur bone expedition, however trivial it may seem, has already fueled online speculation, with researchers and archivists scrambling to cross-reference fossil donation records from that period.
For now, the story remains a footnote in a much darker legal saga. Yet its emergence from Maxwell’s prison cell into the public record serves as a reminder: even the most mundane details of the past can be weaponized when the stakes are high enough. Whether the 1993 trip was truly just a paleontological adventure or something more calculated may never be fully resolved. What is certain is that Ghislaine Maxwell, from behind bars, continues to ensure the narrative remains unsettled.
