This site makes me sick

Well I just found this site, just a minute ago and it just makes my sad. I discovered the site on a banner for my blog. So i clicked to see what it was all about. This is a site devoted to selling museum quality dinosaur eggs and fossils. I'm going to quote the awsome Indiana Jones, "This belongs in a MUSEUM!" I go on a dinosaur dig every summer, and we dig hadrosaur eggs so to see these beautiful specimins on SALE, where they will be put into a private collectors collection is Disgusting. Yes I bet they are quite the conversation piece, but scientifically they are so important! But now that they are out of the ground, probably poached no less, they are worth zilch. Yeah this site lists where they are found, but only a broad region. In the ground, these eggs could have revealed so much information, distances between nests, the numbers of eggs in a clutch, paleoecology, how large the nesting area was, how many nesting horizons there are, oh a paleontologists dream! It looks like all these come from China, which is not much of a surpise. The finds that have come out of that area are amazing. But it is also thought to be a forgery factory. Remember awhile ago National Geographic has on its cover the missing link fossil from reptile to bird. This fossil had come from China. Soon after the publication, it was discovered to be fake. It was two different fossils stuck together.
This is not an uncommon practice. Our geology club every year has a rock sale right before christmas break. The trilobites we get are usually a joke. Eyes will be added on, or this shiny mother of pearl stuff will be added, but people still buy it. My fiancee and I were at the Science Museum in Saint Paul for Society of Vertebrate Paleontolgy last fall and we were in the gift shop looking at their amazing specimins of trilobites for sale (which i'm not a fan of either)And next to us we found out was a man who studied trilobites for a living, he said that more than half of the trilobites in the case had been altered in some way to make them more appealing to buy.
I'm not saying its wrong to own fossils, or I would be the biggest hypocrite out there. The dig that my fiancee and I go on every year allows for some collecting. At the end of the dig we all go to places called micro-sites, these places were once rivers. In the cutbanks the water would slow and things that were too heavy for the water to support fell. Some of the things collected at micro-sites are fish scales (especially in our area, Gar scales), bone fragements, shark teeth, fish bones, some carnivore teeth, and hadrosaur teeth, and more. So we have quite the collection, but none of these things are very important. Important stuff, like hadrosaur eggs stay with the Vickie, the paleontologist.
Well i'm still angry but i feel better. I may continue this later, depending on how much more i think about it.
