		<description>Les grosses pièces mises aux enchères par les grandes maisons de vente sont la plupart du temps l&#039;objet d&#039;une vaste hypocrisie.
Cela ne profite pas à la science, cela encourage un commerce douteux d&#039;objets qui devraient appartenir au patrimoine de l&#039;humanité. Il est vrai que la plupart des musées n&#039;a pas les moyens de financer de coûteuses campagnes internationales de fouilles, mais ce n&#039;est pas la vente aux enchères de fossiles qui va améliorer les choses...
J&#039;ai publié un dossier sur le sujet l&#039;année dernière:

		<description>Je fais suivre ce courrier du paléontologue américain Mark Norell 

It is with great concern that I see Mongolian dinosaur materials listed in the upcoming (May 20) Heritage Auctions Natural History catalogue. For the last 22 years I have excavated specimens Mongolia in conjunction with the Mongolian Academy of Sciences. I have been an author on over 75 scientific papers describing these important specimens. Unfortunately, in my years in the desert I have witnessed ever increasing illegal looting of dinosaur sites, including some of my own excavations. These extremely important fossils are now appearing on the international market.

In the current catalogue Lot 49317 (a skull of Saichania) and Lot 49315 (a mounted Tarbosaurus skeleton) clearly were excavated in Mongolia as this is the only locality in the world where these dinosaurs are known. The copy listed in the catalogue, while not mentioning Mongolia specifically (the locality is listed as Central Asia) repeatedly makes reference to the Gobi Desert and to the fact that other specimens of dinosaurs were collected in Mongolia. As someone who is intimately familiar with these faunas, these specimens were undoubtedly looted from Mongolia. There is no legal mechanism (nor has there been for over 50 years) to remove vertebrate fossil material from Mongolia. These specimens are the patrimony of the Mongolian people and should be in a museum in Mongolia. As a professional paleontologist, am appalled that these illegally collected specimens (with no associated documents regarding provenance) are being are being sold at auction.

Sincerely,

Dr. Mark A. Norell
Chairman and Curator
Division of Paleontology
