Every Hidden Thing by Kenneth Oppel

3.0

Romeo and Juliet set among paleontology. Rachel and Samuel have each grown up motherless and with a father obsessed with discovering Dinosaur bones. The bigger the better. Rachel's father is a chair at Harvard and Sam's dad is self educated. They hate one another in a way the kids don't understand. They find themselves in the same place working with their fathers for the find if a lifetime. As their fathers compete and fight one another, Sam and Rachel are drawn to one another.
Definitely never thought of Romeo and Juliet in the old west with Quaker prospectors hunting for dinosaur bones.
