correction re T. rex
Perhaps a few facts should be checked before congratulations are in
order. No archaeologist is working on the T. rex in South Dakota. No
preparation has occurred since the seizure. The only archaeologist
connected with the situation is a BIA adviser who has been asked to help
advise on the best disposition of the specimen. There are no
paleontologists with BIA; hence the archaeologist has been called to
assist them in evaluating the situation. The archaeologist has no other
responsibility for the situation and is definitely not in charge of any
aspect of the case.
The Department of the Interior is the current custodian of the T. rex
while negotiations and plans are being made. It has not moved the
specimen and has not attempted to prepare it in any way.
