On the trail of the dinosaur rustlers
Dinosaur fossils are big business, with complete skeletons fetching
millions. And that much cash attracts swindlers – whose illegal trade
damages science in its wake.
The skeleton purported to be that of a Tarbosaurus bataar,
seized by US authorities after fetching a price of $1m.
It turned out to contain bones of several species.
