Four people accused of stealing and selling $1 million worth of dinosaur bones from southern Utah

Over five years, the defendants allegedly purchased, transported and exported 150,000 pounds of fossilized materials.

(U.S. Attorney's Office) This is a carving made from dinosaur bone that Vint and Donna Wade, Moab residents, allegedly sold to Steven and Jordan Willing. This carving was listed for individual sale for $48,000. The Wades and Willings were indicted on Thursday, charged with conspiracy and theft of property against the United States, as well as multiple felony charges for violating the federal Paleontological Resources Preservation Act.
