Photo by gabrielegalimbertiphoto and Juri De Luca | Fossils of long-extinct creatures aren’t just for museums. Today they're also featured in homes and businesses, as wealthy collectors indulge a controversial hobby. Workers at Zoic, a fossil restoration firm in Trieste, Italy, reassemble an allosaurus unearthed in Wyoming. The specimen later sold at auction in Paris for $1.7 million to a Filipino collector.
