Not bones this time . . .

Laws regulating the ownership of found meteorites vary from country to country. In Sweden, there are none. In France and Morocco, on the other hand, “the first to put his or her hands on it has ownership of it,” Dr. Holtstam said. In Denmark, they are the property of the state. The U.S. Bureau of Land Management outlines rules for meteorites fallen on public lands.

Consider the Earth’s history as the old measure of the English yard,
the distance from the King’s nose to the tip of his outstretched hand.
One stroke of a nail file on his middle finger
erases human history.

Stegosaurus clobbers T. rex auction record

The Apex skeleton was unearthed in 2022 near the town of Dinosaur in Moffat County, Colorado, on the private land of a paleontologist who discovered it himself and has remained anonymous, according to Sotheby’s. The bones were in the Morrison Formation, an expanse of sedimentary rock centered in Colorado and Wyoming that also extends into parts of 11 other states.

Billionaires seem to always add to their collections the best of the best... and pay big money to have... the best.
