Who owns ancient paleontology finds?
First, please read The First Fossil Hunters and view the first lecture video before researching and writing your post.
Pick ONE of the following questions to answer – your preference. Just be sure to restate the question you are answering at the start of your post.
Options:
Should the fossil or relic belong to the person who owns the land to sell as they see fit?
Should the country or culture where the fossil/relic was found have any rights?
Is there a clear difference and distinction between human relics (such as the Egyptian Spinx or King Tut’s tomb) vs. fossil finds (Links to an external site.) (such as a full dinosaur skeleton found in Utah)?
How about human remains (such as Kennewick Man) compared to fossil finds such as a dinosaur skeleton?
