Identify the supporting details in the following passage:
Last month, Mark Norell, a paleontologist at New York City’s American Museum of Natural History, came across an auction catalog. It featured a Tyrannosaurus bataar skeleton that was for sale to the highest bidder. According to the catalog, the dino was found in Great Britain. Norell knew immediately that something was wrong. This type of dinosaur, discovered in 1946, roamed the Earth some 70 million years ago in what is now Mongolia, a nation in Asia. Norell also knew that in Mongolia it is a crime to send fossils out of the country.
Norell wondered what the 8-foot high, 24-foot long skeleton was doing in New York City and why it was up for sale. The fossil scientist wrote a letter to other paleontologists. “As someone who is intimately familiar with [dinosaurs], these specimens were undoubtedly looted from Mongolia,” he said.
