Some of the fossils in the Museum of Nature that are potentially up on the chopping block include a specimen of Megacerops,
...an extinct genus of North American brontotheriid mammal. All of the species had a pair of blunt horns on their snout (the size varying between species), with the horns of males being much larger than those of the females. This could indicate that they were social animals which butted heads for breeding privileges.
In fact, the museum includes a life sized model of a Megacerops family. They will look good in your drive-way for the low, low price of $64.95.
And this, Ambulocetus, was, believe it or not
...a whale,
Hey! You got $2? Sold for $2. Hand it from the ceiling in your living room. The kids will love it.
Conventional wisdom has it that you build up fat during the good years, and live on it when times are lean. On the other hand, when you cut taxes during the good years, you're stuck selling off the family jewels when things get a little bit rough. That seems to be the predicament we are in today.
