“He has been known to sell some of his fossil finds, apparently a major sin in that world.”

Being mad at people making money is just stupid.

I suppose they think they have the exclusive right to these kinds of things.

FWIW, I have a small T-rex skull, almost complete, sitting on my desk at this second. I traded about two years’ worth of flight lessons for it to a rancher and helped get it out of the dirt/shale with my own hands. Trying to figure out if its legal to take back to Israel.

A great many scientists worldwide seem to feel they are the only ones who should be allowed to handle anything old and/or unique.

“Better get that neutered before it turns mean.”

I would not want a T-Rex to know I was the one who neutered him.
