fossil trade page

looks like the people who think they own this site are determined to paint the fossil trade in a negative light. Oddly, it also appears the same people know very little about the fossil trade except what they have read in magazines. Also, here in the usa, we have a deeply corrupt federal government that seizes private property without any payment and then, with fanfare, gives the fossils back to other countries. Two years later some of those fossils are back in (different) private hands. But some here want to highlight the work of our government.

The private fossil trade has put a lot of fossils into public collections overtime. The owners of this site are openly biased and they don't care that they are biased. I know they raise excellent points against the fossil trade, but TFT is not all bad. Change my mind. 166.182.82.134 (talk) 03:03, 24 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
