there is SCIENCE behind it. They do not make up a species based on a single bone and it takes years of research. The bones are also cross-referenced and so on and so forth. The copies are exact copies and they are pretty expensive actually. Many of other archaeological artifacts displayed at museums are exact replicas, made using the same techniques and materials. The original ones are very fragile and need to be kept at very specific conditions, otherwise they'd cease to exist within days. I hold a BA and an MA in History & Archaeology, before anyone asks about my credentials and shiet.
