Right or Wrong?
Dinosaur Hunter
The Dinosaur Hunter
What I do not understand is this... don't the scientists also work for money. or is all their time donated?

| It was 15 years ago that Peter Larson uncovered the most complete T-Rex skeleton ever found -- Sue -- who is now on display at the Chicago Field Museum. But Larson is not an academic. He searches for dinosaur bones and sells them to private collectors, museums and universities. And his method of paleontology for profit has a lot of scientists angry. Ref. ABCNightline |

You know, I don't know enough about scientists and how they get paid BUT I know they HAVE to get paid in one form or another--everyone has bills! The article didn't specify on why they were angry-aside from his methods. Maybe because he digs for profit only and when he sells the items they lose the chance to study it? I think it seems like fair game--if he found it and wants to sell it, but the other side of the argument is not clear.

I'm thinking that the scientists will probably be angry about:
1. Him not being careful enough
2. Not finding the bones in its exact location and position takes away a lot of information
3. This will cause a new profession to rise just like bounty hunters now there will be professional dinosaur hunters.

I would agree that the scientists would not appreciated it. As far as pay goes often a museum or University will pay the people and the digging expenses are paid by private companies. Some digs are also paid for entirely by privates donations.
