JOURNAL: BONES FOR SALE

EXPLORER JOURNAL attends the largest natural history auction ever held in the U.S. and touches on the controversy surrounding the sale of natural history objects including the world's largest shark jaw and fossilized dinosaur dung. Although museums do not have the resources to pay competitive prices for some of the objects, some people believe such rare and valuable specimens belong in a museum, rather than in private collections.
