WASHINGTON, May 7: A 70-million-year-old dinosaur skeleton from the Gobi Desert that was smuggled to the United States in pieces and auctioned for more than 1 million dollar was returned on Monday by the US government to Mongolia. The huge Tyrannosaurus bataar’s skull was on display at a repatriation ceremony near the United Nations in New York, where officials of the US Attorney’s Office in Manhattan and the US Immigration and Customers Enforcement (ICE) formally turned over the nearly complete skeleton to Mongolian officials.
