jpc Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 I don't either. And if it is from Mongolia, it is certainly illegal to export. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpc Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 (edited) gray legal area..... There was a post many years ago here (I think I started it, maybe)... Is it legal to own things that have been illegally exported out of Country X? Edited January 4 by jpc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svcgoat Posted January 4 Author Share Posted January 4 Seems too much trouble for me then unless I can confirm it's from an old collection I'm going to pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members FossilWally Posted January 5 New Members Share Posted January 5 The mongolian laws went into effect in the 20 or 30's so "old collection" is unlikely. Without a specific locality and formation not sure you can point to a specific hadrosaurid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
