Feds to seize $1.1 million dinosaur Friday | Fox News

Feds to seize $1.1 million dinosaur Friday | Fox News: " A dinosaur skeleton is scheduled to be taken by U.S. authorities on Friday from the custody of an auction house after a judge permitted its seizure for its likely return home to Mongolia.

Heritage Auctions Co-Chairman Jim Halperin said the Dallas-based company, the dinosaur's current custodian, looks forward to releasing the dinosaur after it was assured it will be properly and carefully transported and stored by the government in a secure, climate-controlled and fully insured art storage facility.

"We hope arrangements can be made for the public to view the Tyrannosaurus bataar at a museum or other convenient venue while efforts continue to reach a fair and just resolution," Halperin said Wednesday."
