PaleoRon Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I've been wondering if it is the one that I saw in Tucson earlier this year. I may have to make a couple of calls and find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Good that it was exposed (at least it seems to have been exposed), but too bad it was banged up by inexpert field extraction. This can't help but reflect poorly on private hobbyist collectors; we know the difference, but in at least some of the publics minds, the distinction may not be made. Heck, even among some professionals, we'll all be stained.

Boesse Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 It's not back and safe. It's been concluded to be a Mongolian fossil, that's all so far - It's still under custody of Heritage Auctions, no legal decision has been made so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
