The Fossil That Came Back Changed

The Natural History Museum, the day exhibits go back on display. The skull that went down to the restoration workshop in March came back up to its case yesterday with the report signed and the packing untouched. This morning the insurer's adjuster ran a routine scan: what is in the case is a resin copy, a good one, made by somebody who knows how. The original left the workshop and never came back.
