I can't wait.

My pleasure.

It's lovely to be with you both and to have this conversation.

With pleasure.

Would you mind if I give a bit of context and just build up to the present?

Of course.

The dinosaur fossil market is starting to resemble other areas of the art market, but it's still quite a distance from that point.

The principal reason being that it's a very underdeveloped, recently growing and attracting interest market.

It doesn't have the depth of research, market parallels, pricing comps that the other areas of the art market does.

And all of the rules relating to how you deal in dinosaur forces are still being hammered out.

which we can delve into kind of condition, authenticity, attribution, provenance, all of these things are still developing.

And so it's true that the market has been booming over the past 10 years.

But I think that's changing in a way as the market slightly matures.

Hopefully there's going to be a kind of a flight to quality and much more differentiation between kind of the great dinosaur fossils that deserve and are finally getting that, you know, the recognition and others which shouldn't be.

So it's, I don't know if that in many ways kind of answers your question.

So I can't accurately answer that question because I don't think anybody really knows what's still left to be discovered.

I imagine that we're kind of at the tip of the iceberg.

Yeah, definitely.

The issue with kind of why more isn't discovered is it's extremely time and kind of labor intensive.

to discover a dinosaur.
