Fossillocator @fossillocator.bsky.social · 21hIt’s the late 1500’s. You want to visit the largest Cabinet of Curiosities in Europe to see the world’s greatest mineral collection. But a lion and a tiger freely roam the collections and there’s a high chance you will be mauled 1112
Fossillocator @fossillocator.bsky.social · 07/10/2026My fossil dealer friends are also pissed off at Mason for sneakily trying something. We all love the Sternberg 0130
Fossillocator @fossillocator.bsky.social · 07/10/2026You know what just came to mind? The Los Angeles Museum of Natural History tried to auction off some Sternberg specimens for funds a decade ago lol 100
Fossillocator @fossillocator.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Probably something like “you can sell a few key pieces to middle eastern museums to fund the rest for years” The middle east and china have been spending a lot of money on their natural history museum boom. So FHSU could claim that “a piece is going to a museum” 120

Fossillocator @fossillocator.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Ya, it’s bizarre. His business is Middle East antiquities. He only just got into dinosaurs. 110
Fossillocator @fossillocator.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Its now been confirmed that Mason and some others at FHSU decided to talk to a london based middle east antiquities dealer that Mason heard on a podcast. So instead of talking to someone in-house or even in the US about ethical deaccessioning, she does this. www.hdnews.net/2026/10/07/b...hdnews.netBREAKING NEWS - Salomon Aaron Identified as FHSU’s Outside Museum Adviser; Sternberg Fundraising Goal Raised to $1 Million - Hays Daily News 1156
Fossillocator @fossillocator.bsky.social · 07/10/2026It's weird, I've never heard of this guy, and I'm in the natural history industry so I know the movers and shakers. I looked him up and he's a middle east antiquities dealer trying to get into fossils 130

Fossillocator @fossillocator.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I'm curious who Mason consulted about de-accessioning the Sternberg's collections. My read of this is that they weren't planning to auction off specimens but were willing to sell them off to other museums. 4133
Fossillocator @fossillocator.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I mean Geico had the gecko, and the Caveman (which got adapted to an ABC sitcom), and let us not forget the Tiny House commercial. I do miss Erin of Esurance who was retired too early because people kept making adult fan art 010

Fossillocator @fossillocator.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Started my month with one of those supposed real life paranormal stories podcasts. Today's episode was about the appearance of Goblins in eastern Kentucky after the 2022 floods. Do I think the people saw something? Yes. Was it Goblins? Prob not. Could it be a weird cave dwelling hominid? Maybe 010
