Ever seen a many-plumed moth?
Alucitidae are recognised by their modified wings consisting of 6 rigid spines on each forewing and hindwing. Each spine is lined with flexible bristles, creating a structure similar to that of a bird's feather.
Look closer!

🚨 Our team’s latest research on Iguanodon galvensis!
We have studied cranial remains 💀 of several “babies” of this species, with important implications for understanding intraspecific variability and cranial evolution in ornithopods.

Fósiles únicos que vuelven a situar a Teruel en la primera línea de la investigación paleontológica 🦴
Unos fósiles de crías de Iguanodón encontrados en la localidad turolense de Galve, han permitido descubrir cómo se transformaba y desarrollaba su cráneo hasta la edad adulta 🦕
Restos excepcionales, porque los huesos del cráneo se conservan muy pocas veces, y menos aún en animales tan jóvenes.

This is quite possibly the worst endpoint of these fossil auctions.
Fossils are no longer valued by their "completeness" at the market but by how much a buyer can steal information from the scientific community.
These auctions are a rot on our society and should be banned.
