Thanks, guys. I guess if there are scientists who have seen it and he made statements to them as to where it was found, he would have a problem if he tried to sell it. Yet, the state is not making an effort to seize it from him, are they? He has it in his possession in a safe place, or even under his bed for all I know. If it does not belong to him to sell, why is he allowed to keep it at all? Sounds like the state would be content for him to own it, but would not let him transfer ownership to another private party? Just doesn't make any sense to me. Why isn't the state demanding the return of this fossil/artifact? Why can they stop it's sale, but not just claim it right now? If he has given statements to witnesses that he found it in state waters or on state land, then why no effort to take it away from him?
