“Ubirajara” and Irritator Belong to Brazil: Achieving Fossil Returns Under German Private Law

While disputes concerning the return of antiquities and artworks have become increasingly prevalent and receive public attention, the parallel issue of returning unlawfully exported fossils is rarely discussed. The fossils of “Ubirajara jubatus” and Irritator challengeri are prime examples of such disputes: they were taken from Brazil unlawfully, as Brazilian researchers allege, and displayed in German museums. The return disputes were characterized by both parties relying on arguments based almost exclusively on public (international) law. This Article explores private law as an alternative approach to these and similar disputes, discussing whether the fossils are the property of Brazil and could, therefore, be claimed in an action for restitution under German law. It finds that both fossils belong to Brazil since the museums did not acquire good title through a good faith purchase or acquisitive prescription.

The fossils of the Lebanese Upper Cretaceous Lagerstätten, especially the articulated fish, are world renowned. Famous for their soft tissue preservation and highly sought after by fossil collectors, Lebanese fossils provide key information concerning the evolution of several major extant and extinct groups of Mesozoic organisms including cephalopods, crustaceans, hagfish, sharks, marine reptiles, pterosaurs, etc. In fact, fossils from Lebanon are so exceptional that historical documentation describing them extends back to the Roman Empire. However, despite over 1600 years of knowledge of these fossils, a thorough understanding of the depositional environments, taphonomy, and palaeoecology of the four main sites: Haqel, Hjoula, Nammoura (each Cenomanian in age), and Sahel Aalma (Santonian) is lacking. Here we compile a review of the palaeoenvironments, fauna, and flora of these four Lebanese Lagerstätten. Our synthesis outlines the history of fossil discovery, describes the current understanding of the geology, ages, mode of preservation, and organisms found at these four sites. We also undertake a bibliometric and holotype analysis to investigate the impact that scientific colonialism has had on Lebanon. Our data confirms that local Lebanese researchers are typically not included on publications pertaining to Lebanese fossils and that the majority of Lebanese type material is stored in large historical collections outside of Lebanon, predominantly in institutions within the northern hemisphere. Here, we recommend some basic practices for researchers utilising historical collections that can help develop local Lebanese fossil collections and establish more research opportunities for local palaeontologists.
