Dinosaur Bone Smuggler Pleads Guilty

Description:A Florida man has pleaded guilty to charges he smuggled dinosaur fossils into the U.S.from Mongolia and China. 38-year old Eric Prokopi is a former commercial palaeontologist and was charged with importing and selling a near complete dinosaur skeleton and other fossils. Prosecutors say the 70 million year old skeleton became the subject of an international custody battle after Mongolian officials said the skeleton had been stolen from the Gobi Desert. (0:44)
