Good news.
A Dallas Texas district court has issued a temporary restraining order
prohibiting Heritage Auctions sale of the Tarbosaurus bataar skeleton
scheduled for Sunday. Details can be read at the update on Brian
Switek's Laelaps blog http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/laelaps
This is not the end of the battle. Sign the petition if you haven't
already done so at

Keep the pressure on. Spread the word to friends, colleagues, and the
press.
