Daily Times - Leading News Resource of Pakistan - US returning looted tyrannosaurus skeleton to Mongolia: "The huge Tyrannosaurus bataar’s skull was on display at a repatriation ceremony near the UN in New York, where officials of the US Attorney’s Office in Manhattan and the US Immigration and Customers Enforcement (ICE) formally turned over the nearly complete skeleton to Mongolian officials. Mongolia demanded the return of the 2.4 metre, 7.3 metre, mostly reconstructed cousin of the Tyrannosaurus rex last year after commercial palaeontologist Eric Prokopi sold it at a Manhattan auction last spring for $1.05 million.
Prokopi, based in Gainesville, Florida, bought and sold whole and partial fossilised dinosaur skeletons."
