I read that article in the Adeleaide Advertiser yesterday myself with
interest . The interesting thing they dont mention is the South Australian
Museum was selling sinohydrosaur plates ,hadrasaur and oviraptor eggs and
keichausaurs(all of which were in this lot) just 12 months ago in their gift
shop!!! I wonder if they are willing to refund the purchase price if some of
those are confiscated. The other thing this article does not mention is that
chinese meteorites (inc nantan ) are also in the spotlight in this cultural
repatriation frenzy.
Regards to all.
