They need better verification for the word "fossil".... Dinosaur, or invertebrae fossils.. I hound in Montana a lot, if a Dino is found, we turn it in to the state. If just pieces we claim it, if the landowner doesn't want it... The same goes for invertebrate sea Fossils.. Land owner gets first chance at it or gets to pick what they want, the rest is ours to keep. Never did want anything to do with a complete or parcel dino... Let the state and landowner sort it out.. I stay out of that mess!! |

Has the State Supreme Court ruled on this yet?

Definitely. My land, my dinosaur. Old bones are not minerals in the general sense of the word.
I've never understood why the rich dudes hire lawyers and go after the little guys. (I know, because they can.) Those bone hunters are usually living paycheck to paycheck.

Why even have mineral rights separate from land ownership? How about your ownership follows a V to the core of the planet? Same goes for water rights IMO

However, I can sell or lease those rights to someone else. It does me no good to own oil, gas or coal if I can't afford to extract it. The problem arises when I sell that land and the next property owner is bound by the sales or lease agreement I signed. |

Yup. Making the land worth a lot less, depending on it's size |

Been watching that new Dino show on TV and looks like the land owners in SD, Montana and Wyoming get to keep their finds on their land and sell to whom ever wants to buy....
Now the Indian Res. that's a complete different story! Ask the Larson Brothers about that mess!

These particular particular fossils were mentioned several times. I'm glad to see they were sold, then donated. |

That's not what my mortgage paperwork said. It only extended to a certain depth. Of course, suburbia and owning a farm/ranch could very well have different depths. Neighbors might not want an oil well.  |

The natural gas is accessed via horizontal drilling. and the well heads are located a mile or so away in farm land. I wish an energy company was interested in drilling under my property. |

Stan the T-rex may have ended up in Abu Dhabi Doo for $31.8 million but his intellectual property rights didn’t. They still reside back in Hill City, South Dakota where polyurethane Stan could be all yours for a paltry $120K. As Dinosaur Fossils Fetch Millions, There’s Many a Bone to Pick
Fossils are a multimillion-dollar business, bringing legal disputes, nondisclosure agreements and trademarks to the world of paleontology.
