Dinosaurs for sale: Is the global fossil market harming science? | 101 East Documentary
The global demand for dinosaur fossils is booming, with increasing interest from wealthy collectors across Asia. In 2024, a Stegosaurus skeleton was sold at an auction in New York for a record $44.6m. Fossil hunters are raking in profits, while Asian buyers bond over their collections and see fossils as a way to educate the next generation about history. However, some academics say the commercial fossil trade is unethical and harmful to science.
