Yes, the rumours are true, I'm building a new digital existence over at @bluesky🦋 and invite y'all to connect over there!
(And don't be surprised if I unfollow you here once we connect on 🦋, that's how I keep track of who hasn't migrated yet)
So much fun to once again be part of the int'l law and pop culture symposium over at @opiniojuris! There's plenty of really cool pieces, so make sure to check it out. I wrote a little thing about accusations of #genocide in @cwthe100, feel free to give it a read, too!

Three thoughts on these amazing #fossil #repatriation news.
1) It's great to see a return from the UK since I don't see a lot of cultural property being repatriated from there - I guess it's easier if the artefacts are in a dealership and not in a museum yet. /1

2) The inconsistent terminology is striking. The Brazilian Embassy celebrates a win for Brazil's "natural and cultural heritage", the police officer spoke of "natural heritage". This issue is nicely explored here: link.springer.com/article/10… /2
3) UK law differs from most Continental European legal system in not allowing good faith purchases of stolen objects. Accordingly, if the dealer didn't acquire the fossils in such a jurisdiction, there's no way they had title to it. Cf. this case: plone.unige.ch/art-adr/cases… /end

Great to see some South-South cooperation in the repatriation of fossils!
⭕️ 🇨🇱 - 🇲🇦 Chilean authorities returned 117 fossils dating back 400 million years to Morocco. The artefacts had been seized from smugglers by Chilean customs officials.

Publication alert: Our talk "Law Will Find a Way: Legal Research at the Intersection with Palaeontology" that @mauritiantales, @emmadnn and I gave at @JTOER24 last summer is now an #OpenAccess book chapter! [1/2]

We outline Law and Palaeontology (aka #dinosaurlaw) as a field of research: how it works, why it's needed, why it's special. Brand new case studies (e.g., mammoth ivory) included! Don't miss it: nomos-elibrary.de/10.5771/97… [2/2]
This is something I'm wondering about. "Donation" in repatriation contexts implies the transfer of good title - but what if no good title has been acquired to the fossils by the person returning it? (Which probably is the case for many Brazilian fossils)

2.5 years after @DrDonnaYates' call for PhD candidates in #dinosaurlaw, I'm excited to announce that I'll be doing precisely this: a PhD on Law and Palaeontology at @lawinmaastricht! Starting date tbc - but from then, I'll be doing dinosaur law full-time for 4 years. Can't wait!

We also highlighted it in @NewsfromScience science.org/content/article/…
ICYMI I wrote an op-ed for @undarkmag about stolen #fossils from #Crimea. It's scandalous to me how little this is being talked about when it should be the next Myanmar amber controversy. Read about in via the link below!
#FossilFriday
According to legal scholar @PStewens, Russia is flouting international law by removing fossils from a Crimean cave. Are academic publishers ignoring the theft of Ukrainian fossils?
