Baden-Württemberg wants to return dinosaur fossils to Brazil after all

After a dispute with experts from Brazil, Baden-Württemberg now wants to return a dinosaur fossil. According to newspaper reports, Science Minister Theresia Bauer wants to return the fossil of the dinosaur Ubirajara jubatus from the collection of the Natural History Museum in Karlsruhe to the Brazilian state. The export to Germany violated Brazilian law, they say. In September, the ministry assessed the situation completely differently and stated that after a comprehensive examination of the facts, “there were no indications of unlawful acquisition by the Natural History Museum in Karlsruhe”. There was initially no comment from the house.
