A UK team sold a big fossil collection. The fossils now sit in Abu Dhabi. A museum there shows them. The fossils came from a coast. Dorset's Jurassic Coast has very old rocks. The rocks hold dinosaur bones.
Rich People Buy Fossils, Scientists Lose Out
Easy
Rich people now buy fossils. They pay very high prices. Museums cannot buy them. The price is too big. Scientists cannot see these fossils. This is a big problem.
Scientists need fossils to study. They learn about the past. Private buyers take the fossils. Scientists lose their chance. We all lose when fossils disappear. Fossils should stay in museums. Everyone can see them there.
