Four tons of dinosaur bones returned

The largest amount of black market fossils in history has been returned to Argentina.

From the BBC:

Four tonnes of dinosaur bones and other fossils stolen from Argentina are back home after they were seized while being sold on the US black market.

They were welcomed in Buenos Aires at a formal ceremony attended by senior Argentine military officers, diplomats and the US ambassador to Argentina.

US police recovered the relics after Interpol received a tip-off.

The haul is thought to be the largest ever quantity of fossil material to come onto the black market.
