There's commercial archaeologists out there looking for more to dig up and sell. Ofc they all think they're Indiana Jones.
There's a market for other dinosaurs too but not for that kind of money. Some bloke had a diplodocus that took years to shift. There's no Autotrader equivalent for dinosaurs.
When I was a kid I found an ammonite fossil in the river. Probably wasn't worth much, but it would be fifty-odd years older now, so...
I have a trilobite fossil, I picked up in southern Tunisia. Not sure where it is now - Happy had a tidy up, so it could be anywhere!
Good job it's a fossilized one, the live ones gave Captain Kirk a lot of bother.Quote:
