Can I ever take it back eventually?

Like, OK, I agree to place it for 10 years or two years or something.

Or am I expected to sort of.

permanently give it to the museum to hold?

No, no.

There's so much information that it's totally fine.

I actually want to go back to something you said because when you think about market structure,

You did say one thing that sort of feels familiar, perhaps, which is that you can get a better shot at acquiring something at a good price if you buy it a little bit earlier in the process.

That by the time the dinosaur has been completely excavated and documented and assembled, etc., it's going to go to some rich collector in the Gulf or something like that.

Talk to us a little bit more.

Some of these collectors or people who are waiting for that T-Rex skull or whatever, how early can they, if they're so inclined, get in on the process?

Can they front money towards a paleontologist who has a good reason to think there might be something there?

Can they like, you know, can they buy a stake of an excavation project, period?

Like for the active collector.

Essentially, yeah, that's right.

VC in some sort, like buy a stake in the expedition.

Yes, they do.

Is anyone working on bringing dinosaurs back to life?

Well, I mean, I know that's sort of fantastical, right?

Because of Jurassic Park, you know, maybe we're going to find a little bit of DNA in some amber somewhere.
