Chinese Embassy Deputy Chief of Mission Xie Feng (2nd R) watches as Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security for U.S. Immigration, and Customs Enforcement John Morton handles a dinosaur egg during a repatriation ceremony for U.S. Department of Homeland Security officials to turn over bones and eggs of pre-historic animals shipped illegally from China to the US, at the Chinese Embassy in Washington September 14, 2009. The fossils, which were intercepted by customs officials in Chicago, include remains of a saber-toothed cat and skeletal bones of dinosaurs certified to be as old as 100 million years and a cache of dinosaur eggs.
