Makes me sad it’s being sold instead of studied. “For Profit Paleontology” leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

    These are the times I really regret not being born with nearly unlimited generational wealth. I can’t believe I chose trailer park over entry way stegosaurus. This makes no sense but y’all know what I’m getting at, fuck I’m tired.

      The Mormons say that you chose your hardships in this life, before being born, in exchange for greater rewards in the next life.

          Don’t come complaining to me about the choices you made before you were born!

            Don’t worry, you’ll get your vast reward after you are dead.

          I doubt Joseph Smith was that learned. He probably just made it up because it helps people to accept their lot in life.

          Wait! Doesn’t Hinduism say that poor conditions in this life are due to bad karma from the last? That’s kind of the reverse of what the Mormons teach.

            It’s both. What life you’ll live after reincarnation depends on your karma.

              Yeah the Mormons teach something different. They believe that poor people made a choice before they were born to endure more hardships in this life in exchange for greater rewards in the next. Not that they’re being punished for their actions in their previous life.

    We need laws that say that pre-historic fossils can only be housed in museums, universities, and other places of learning / study / exhibition.

      They get replicated and museums buy those instead sadly

        If they are replicated more than once then this sounds like a good deal.

        So long as science has access to the originals.

          The best fossils are reproduced a lot. I think Stan the trex is bought by an investor in Abu Dhabi. But we got copies of it all over the world.
