The T. rex Fossil Trade: A Modern Dilemma for Science

"This is a fascinating topic! It's disheartening to see such valuable fossils kept away from science."

"I wonder how many other fossils are in private hands that we don't even know about."

"It's outrageous that science is being hindered by private collectors! Public access should come first."

"This makes me appreciate museums even more! We need to support them."

"Can we start a petition to bring awareness to this issue?"

"Funny how fossils are now the billionaires' toys. When did paleontology become a luxury market?"

"This is reminiscent of the art world, where only the wealthy get to enjoy history."

"Why arent governments stepping in to regulate fossil ownership and ensure public access?"

"If T. rex fossils are becoming endangered, whats next? Are we losing touch with our history?"

"The situation seems absurd. Fossils should be for everyone, not just the rich!"

"Is it too late to change the course of fossil ownership? Let's hope not!"
