UK Jurassic Fossil Collection Sold to Abu Dhabi, Experts Decry 'Loss to the Nation'

One of the UK's most significant Jurassic fossil collections, comprising 318 specimens including ichthyosaurs, fish, and crustaceans, has been sold to a museum in Abu Dhabi. British experts described the sale as a loss to the nation, as lack of funds left UK museums unable to match the eight-figure price. The collection, amassed by a private collector, may contain new species.
