Absolutely! Out here in the Sonoran Desert, ants in amber, pack
rat midden and all manner of fossils are sold at big prices to
collectors. This can really bother some paleontologists who see
prime specimens end up in collectors hands rather than the
scientific community. After all, they would USE the specimens.
Sound familiar?
