Makes me sad it's being sold instead of studied. "For Profit Paleontology" leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

They get replicated and museums buy those instead sadly

If they are replicated more than once then this sounds like a good deal.

So long as science has access to the originals.

The best fossils are reproduced a lot. I think Stan the trex is bought by an investor in Abu Dhabi. But we got copies of it all over the world.
