    The image shows a fossil specimen preserved in a reddish-brown sedimentary rock matrix, displaying the articulated skeletal remains of what appears to be two small dinosaurs or prehistoric reptiles. The bones are cream to white in color and stand out clearly against the rock surface. The specimen appears to be resting in a padded storage or transport container lined with foam and tissue paper.

    A rock slab containing two skeletons of Gallimimus bullatus, a large, ostrich-like dinosaur. It is being returned to Mongolia. On July 10, 2014, in a formal ceremony in Manhattan, ICE and the Justice Department returned to the Mongolian government the fossilized remains of over 18 dinosaur skeletons, including two Tyrannosaurus bataar skeletons that were unlawfully taken from Mongolia.

    The image shows a fossil specimen preserved in a reddish-brown sedimentary rock matrix, displaying the articulated skeletal remains of what appears to be two small dinosaurs or prehistoric reptiles. The bones are cream to white in color and stand out clearly against the rock surface. The specimen appears to be resting in a padded storage or transport container lined with foam and tissue paper.
    The image shows a small fossilized or dried skull specimen resting on a pale foam support block, likely in a laboratory or museum preparation setting. The skull appears to be from a small vertebrate animal, showing visible cranial and facial bone structures. Additional skeletal or fossil specimens are visible in the blurred background.
    The image shows a paleontological field jacket — a fossil specimen encased in a plaster jacket lined with black plastic sheeting, placed on a wooden surface. The top of the jacket has been opened or partially removed, revealing the fossil material embedded in matrix (sedimentary rock) inside. A handwritten label is partially visible in the lower left corner, and a yellow scale reference card reading 'ACTUAL SIZE' is visible in the background.
    A person wearing gray and blue work gloves is holding a large fossilized or mineralized skull specimen. The specimen appears to be a large mammal skull, heavily encrusted with calcium carbonate or sedimentary matrix, showing complex bone structures including orbital cavities and nasal passages. The specimen is cream to off-white in color and appears to be of significant paleontological or archaeological interest.
    The image shows a large fossil specimen embedded in a rock matrix, housed inside a wooden crate or shipping container. Multiple skeletal elements are visible across the surface of the slab, suggesting a multi-individual or articulated fossil assemblage. Wooden support blocks are positioned around the specimen, indicating it is being stored or transported.
    The image shows a fossilized or mummified turtle specimen resting on bubble wrap packaging material. The specimen is pale beige/cream in color with visible cracking and weathering across the shell surface. The head of the turtle is visible on the right side, showing preserved skull features including eye socket openings.
    The image shows a series of fossilized or preserved vertebrae arranged sequentially on a wooden shelf or table. The bones appear to be from a large animal, displaying tall neural spines projecting upward from each vertebral body. The specimen is likely displayed in a museum or research setting.
    The image shows what appears to be a fossilized or mineralized bone specimen resting on a dark wooden surface. The object displays a cylindrical shaft with expanded ends, consistent with long bone morphology, and shows significant mineralization with earthy tones of beige, brown, and reddish hues. Additional similar specimens are partially visible in the background.
    The image shows a collection of bones and bone fragments laid out on a gray table, consistent with an archaeological or paleontological analysis setting. The bones vary in size from large long bones to small fragments, and appear weathered or fossilized with reddish-brown discoloration. A repurposed Carte D'Or vanilla ice cream container is being used to hold smaller bone fragments.
