Interesting twitter post by Paleontologist Denver Fowler: "On fossil sales, journalists are much too lazy, preferring to stoke perceived conflict between academia vs commercial collection. I think a rather cleverer (and real) story concerns how much of the fossils for sale are reconstructions or chimaeras" "In these times when purchasing fossils or art is considered an investment, then I think there is some responsibility on the seller to be able to guarantee authenticity." "If a dinosaur fossil does not include, for example, a bone map, then it probably is because the fossil is junk. Speaking from a sales background, a seller should include as much info that authenticates the sale as possible." https://t.co/9libwWSdGO (https://twitter.com/df9465/status/1650531621316206592?t=eEOkNtjt8gL44VQ357zRsA&s=03)
