    An ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) evidence photograph showing what appears to be fossil or skeletal remains packed inside a wooden crate with dark quilted padding material and bubble wrap. The specimen appears to be a partial skeleton with visible vertebrae/spinal processes and limb bones, consistent with a dinosaur or large prehistoric animal fossil. The ICE watermark suggests this was seized as part of an illegal fossil trafficking investigation.

    U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) returned a Tyrannosaurus Bataar skeleton, looted from the Gobi Desert and illegally smuggled into the United States, to the government of Mongolia, on May 6, 2013, during a repatriation ceremony at a Manhattan hotel. The Bataar was seized in New York by ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) special agents after it sold at a Manhattan auction for $1.05 million.

    The image shows a series of large vertebrae bones laid out in a wooden crate or shipping container. The bones appear to be fossil specimens or skeletal remains of a large animal, possibly a dinosaur or large prehistoric creature. The image bears the official watermark of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), suggesting this is evidence documentation from a law enforcement seizure.

The image is watermarked with the official ICE/Department of Homeland Security seal, indicating this is an official law enforcement documentation photo. Several individuals, including agents wearing HSI (Homeland Security Investigations) jackets and a suited official, are gathered around the crate in what appears to be a warehouse or processing facility.
