UK fossil collection sold abroad
A significant collection of UK Jurassic fossils has been sold to a museum in Abu Dhabi due to the UK museums' lack of funding, despite efforts to keep it domestically. The collection includes 318 specimens, some potentially new species, but was not acquired by British institutions before export. Experts view the sale as a loss for the UK's natural heritage, raising questions about preservation and the responsibilities of public institutions to safeguard valuable scientific collections.
