Photo by gabrielegalimbertiphoto and Juri De Luca / Fossils of long-extinct creatures aren’t just for museums. Today they're in homes and businesses, as wealthy collectors indulge a controversial hobby. Here, 11-year-old Luke Phipps sits atop a Triceratops fossil—still in a plaster "jacket" used for carefully transporting a fossil from the field to a lab—with Chris Morrow at CK Preparations, the commercial fossil company Morrow owns in Montana. Luke found the fossil while digging with his father, Clayton Phipps, a rancher and amateur paleontologist known as the “dinosaur cowboy.” #dinosaurs #dino #dinosaur #collection #triceratops Check out Nat Geo's link in bio for more on this story.
