TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Authorities say a man has been arrested for allegedly stealing a fossilized dinosaur claw valued at $25,000 from an Arizona vendor last month and then trying to resell it.
Tucson police say the claw was stolen Jan. 30 from a vendor at the city’s annual Gem and Mineral Show.
They say the suspect tried to sell the claw on Feb. 8 to another vendor, who recognized the item and alerted police.
The dinosaur claw is now in Colorado with its owner.
Police say the suspect faces a felony charge of trafficking stolen property.
