Of course every item for sale (dino egg, mammoth skull etc) comes complete 
with the exact geographical and stratigraphical information; a certificate 
from the relevant government authority proving it was not excavated or 
exported illegally; and a document from a reputable palaeontological 
facility verifying the specimen's authenticity.

As for myself, I'll be scouring eBay looking for more Archaeoraptor 
specimens !!

(I think I've been sarcastic enough for one day. There is something I find 
rather agravating about auctioning of scientific treasures on the Web.)
