Is my opinion that this should not belong to anybody but to everybody unpopular?

I agree this should belong to everybody, but fossil hunting is an expensive venture. Here is a quote from Alan Detrich, thw owner of the T rex.

[1] “Millionaires aren’t rich enough to buy these dinosaurs. I don’t have a problem with selling to billionaires, because they’ve got enough money to protect this fossil and take really good care of it … At some point, all these things end up in museums.”

>At some point these things end up in museums.

I guess you can call it a win-win.
