paleonet Re: Cleaning up the Burke Museum

[argo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

It is with sadness but relief that I can report that the University of Washington has finally dealt with the long rumored improprieties involving the Vertebrate Paleontology collection at the University of Washington.  I first alerted the University of perceived problems in 1989, but better late than never, although the personal cost along the way was high.  The website with the report on the collection and a news article can be found at:
