If you find this stuff interesting, definitely read THE DINOSAUR ARTIST. It talks about these auctions, dinosaur smuggling, and how scientists from all over the globe are affected by these sorts of auctions (and illegal sales with fake provenances) https://t.co/MiYmSraHcg

My grandma (who was of German and Slovakian descent) was like -shrug- just give her a tiny cup. And thus my coffee dependency began at the age of 5. It literally was like the tiniest little cup that was like 90+% milk.
