Police in Tucson say they have arrested a man who allegedly stole a dinosaur claw fossil from a gem show, and then tried to resell it.
A man has been arrested for allegedly stealing a fossilized dinosaur claw valued at $25,000 from a vendor in Tucson last month and then trying to resell it, according to authorities.
The claw was stolen Jan. 30 from a vendor at the city's annual Gem and Mineral Show, Tucson police said. Christopher Thomas, 39, allegedly tried to sell the claw on Feb. 8 to another vendor, who recognized the item and alerted police, police said. The dinosaur claw is now in Colorado with its owner. Thomas faces a felony charge of trafficking stolen property, police said. It was unclear Monday if Thomas had a lawyer who could speak on his behalf about the case.
