bona- fide researchers are allowed to take specimens from the monument — but only with permits that are fairly easily obtained

IOW, it's all about the money. That said, the profs should lose their tenure and their teacher's licenses.

the professors told him to mind his own business as they ....

were registered Democrats and could do anything that pleased them...so there!

And the monument is owned by the UN? Or Arabs? Or is that the same thing these days?

Cellmate: "Hey pal, what are you in for?"

Professor: "Illegal fossil gathering."

Cellmate: "Wot?! Hey Psycho Slasher, looky here . . . . "

Since they’re good liberals, nothing will happen to them, unlike the residents of southern Utah, who get prosecuted for collecting fossils and Indian arrowheads literally in their own backyards.

Bonus: a lot of them get a visit from the local SWAT team, who is happy to throw grenades through their windows, pull the front door off with a large armored truck, and put a foot on their neck face-down at gunpoint.

CU has an impressive museum with a large fossil collection. It is well worth visiting, even though most people don’t even know about it.

All bones on Federal land belong to The Man. Utah is full of bones, but, no touchy.

All your fossils are belong to us.
