My evil genius fantasy is to buy things like this and give them to random mid-sized city museums. Something large enough to handle the care, but small enough to not be able to acquire large permanent exhibits like this.

Note that the private market for fossils (each of which is of priceless scientific value) is a very scummy and seedy underground that should not be encouraged.

This idiots are duping local ranchers and destroying priceless scientific data just so techbro douchebags can decorate their foyers.

Fossils of this importance and magnitude do not belong in the hands of private, privileged individuals for their own private collections, They belong in museums where they can be studied and understood.
