    This story has been around for a while now.. A near-complete Tarbosaurus was found in Mongolia and then illegally shipped to the Uk and then America, for sale by a fossil dealer. As it is illegal to privately own fossils in Mongolia, the dinosaur should belong to the Mongolian state, and would then have been put in a museum. However, the currently owner (the bad guy) is saying it is a composite, to try and claim he should keep it, instead of it going back where it belongs.
