Dinosaur Thieves
In October 2009,paleontologist in India found hundreds
Of dinosaur eggs. Inside each egg were the dinosaur embryos ( developing babies) . But the eggs were later stolen. Scientists assume that the valuable eggs were sold to collectors for a high price. In the limestone cliffs in England , the footprint of an iguanodon was carved out of the rock. The footprint of the iguanodon-a relative of the iguana lizard-was at least 135 million years old. Since limestone is very soft,thieves can easily dig out fossils. In nearby Wales ,more than 30 imprints from a three-toed dinosaur were stolen. They were later found to be on sale on eBay,a popular buy and sell website.
