Story out of Salt Lake City, Utah:
Prosecutors have filed theft charges against five people accused of stealing 60 pounds of dinosaur bones near a Utah quarry during an educational trip run by a college in Texas, authorities said Thursday.
The bones were taken after the suspects slipped away from a sanctioned dig last May and pried a dinosaur limb and other fragments from a desert landscape that contains a treasure trove of bones that are millions of years old, authorities said.
The bones were seized by investigators and returned to Utah after being taken from an area near Hanksville-Burpee Dinosaur Quarry, about 230 miles south of Salt Lake City. Cont.
