Reporters in Bangkok, Thailand examine some of the hundreds of pounds of priceless dinosaur fossils recovered in a joint ICE-Royal Thai Police (RTP) investigation into the illegal sale of antiquities and fossils. The case began after the ICE Attaché in Bangkok obtained information that a Thai man named Piriya Vachajitpan was selling Thai and Cambodian antiquities online and illegally shipping them to the United States. Working undercover, ICE and RTP agents built the case against Vachajitpan, who was arrested by Thai officials. About 1,300 lbs. of fossils were recovered, some as much as 165 million years old.
