I just looked on the terminal, and right now, dinosaur future fossils are in backwardation.

No, I made that clear.

There's no dinosaur futures.

There's certainly not a futures curve.

I made that up.

That's just pure fabrication.

No, that's a great place to start.

So when we think about the broad universe of, let's just start with the universe of fossils rather than collected fossils.

Do we have a sense of like how many are in museums, private collections, et cetera, and how much is still in the ground yet to be found?

In terms of discovery?

What are the rules of provenance?

Absolutely.

Already very fascinating.

Just real quick question on North American dinosaurs.

You mentioned that a lot of the excavation or hunting work happens in Wyoming, North Dakota, etc.,

Is that because geographically we have reason to believe that there was a high density of fossils there?

Or is it because there's a lot of land?

Like if there's a dinosaur under New York City, no one's looking for it.

You can't dig it up.

Is it just because there's a lot of land there that is diggable that's not being used for anything else?
