So, if I am out in the wild somewhere and come across
a large specimen of Holtzasaurus marylandai, and it is
on private land, at what point can "the govt" step in
for the benefit of science - does that happen?
Do they retain a percentage of any seizure to pay the
land owners like they would in an imminent domain situation?

Would the uniqueness of the specimen be the deciding factor?
