[meteorite-list] chinese fossil repatriation

[Dippl Family]

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.
