Paleonet: Don't Fed Me In - What the AAPS keeps getting wrong . and why the conversation about fossil commerce needs to start over from scratch

[Dan Phelps]

I’ve often wondered why the Paleontological Society used to have a link to the AAPS on their website. Besides the commercialization of paleontology, AAPS also has some real cranks in its membership (i.e. a creationist museum in Crosby, Texas that once sold a huge mastodon or mammoth skull that they had wired for internal lighting). 
       On the other hand, doesn’t Fossil News co-sponsor the large, very commercial, MAPS show?  I could be mistaken on this
