DX > Learn more about the Samsung Galaxy S6 at the T-Moble Showcase Sponsored by T-Mobile Play Sound --- Detrich reached out to J.R. Bissell, who runs Pirate Gold Coins, to actually list the bones on eBay. Bissell describes Pirate Gold Coins as a marketplace and "quasi-online museum" for artifacts. In a statement, Bissell said: "Whether or not you agree with the private sale of artifacts such as the baby T-Rex, the simple fact is this -- many archaeological explorations require private funding. The individuals or groups that have the capital necessary to provide funding for archaeological exploration cannot sustain their efforts if they do not receive a return on their capital. As such, a private market that allows investors to recoup costs and derive profit in exchange for the high degree of risk that is required to fund archaeological exploration is absolutely necessary."
