Hi Listers!
Our museum was recently offered several five-gallon buckets full of fossilized manatee bone, found locally. I have been told that these types of fossils are quite common in this area. The potential donor has suggested that we package and sell them. We already have a few examples of these fossils in our collections. I have very limited experience working with fossils, and I am not sure about the ethics of selling them, even when the donor has given permission. Any advice?
Thanks in advance!
