This is not a post about how to detect fake fossils. It's about an artist, inspired by fossils and dinosaurs, and all (e.g. business) that comes along with it. Yto Barrada is an award winning artist with French and Moroccan nationality, who has been working on several projects related to fossil discovery and trade.
For example, the short award winning film, Faux Depart (False start), trailer below, gives an insight in the artisan production of fossils in Morocco. This film is related to her project 'Along Dinosaur Road'.
Read more about how she works, and reflects about dinosaurs and fossils in this interview, which also mentions documenting Morocco's unfinished national museums that could protect it's national paleontological treasures in the future.
