BUENOS AIRES, Argentina - A senior U.S. Homeland Security official is in Argentina to discuss money laundering, human trafficking — and dinosaur eggs.
Julie L. Myers, assistant secretary for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said Monday that she plans to hand over to Argentina's government a cache of more than 8,100 pounds (3,675 kilograms) of fossils seized two years ago by ICE agents at a gem and mineral show in Tucson, Arizona.
The fossils — including an unspecified number of dinosaur eggs, shell fragments, petrified pine cones and fossilized prehistoric crabs — had been illegally removed from Argentina and offered for sale in the United States, according to an ICE statement.
