The fossil trade is the purchase and sale of fossils. This is at times done illegally with stolen fossils, and important scientific specimens are lost each year.[1][2][3][4] The trade is lucrative, and many celebrities collect fossils.[5]
The fossil trade has attracted criticism from many paleontologists, who regard the private ownership of fossils to be damaging to science.
