I'm not sure that's the best destiny for the fossil. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/2018/09/news-muse...

it can happen anywhere https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/11/magazine/universal-fire-m...

But in some places it happens more often than others.

Now if we can just get a courtcase similarto this one for the entire contents of the British museum and other artifacts looted by pirates like this one: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2010/sep/26/westminster-ab...

I would suggest that if it was not the British Museum then someone else would have these treasures and they would probably be tucked away far from public view or possibly destroyed through lack of maintenance. I would not mind them being returned if they were guaranteed to remain in good condition and in public ownership. That may be possible now but for a long time it wasn't.
