When I was a kid I told my parents I wanted to become an archeologist. They were skeptical since I had just seen the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark and raved that Indiana Jones had the coolest job in the world. One summer my parents took me to visit a paleontological dig site in South Dakota, which was impressive, but not as stimulating as being chased by a giant bolder or being engulfed in snakes, all for the sake of uncovering historic treasures. In this week's LND you'll find a story about a $1M treasure of dinosaur bones and the claims that auctioning them is illegal.
