They said that the odds of having 'James, Joseph, and Jesus together on the ossuary were 1 in 2000.

Limestone ossuary consistent of 1st century, and from Jerusalem.

Certain letters are missing the 'patina'. They didn't know which letters.

First part of the wording on the ossuary, consistent with 1st century aramaic. But, the last part, 'brother of Jesus', seems to be written by a different hand. Most likely, post 1st century, Galilean aramaic.

Ossuary is damaged during shipping enroute to Totonto's museum.

I only saw part of the last half of it. Did they arrive at any conclusions?
