Hi i worked in the paeleo area in the 1980's and 90's as a technician and it is not unknown for strange stuff to happen with fossils. The incident that comes to mind is the Himalayan peripatetic fossils see Nature 338, 613-615 20 04 1989 Commentary, Nature 341, 11-12 07 09 1989 Commentary,Nature 341, 13-15 07 09 1989 Commentary, Nature 343, 305-307 25 01 1990 Commentary, Nature 343, 405-406 01 02 1990 Commentary. This was a source of some amusement at the time it was going on but it was of course a really bad thing for understanding the geology and and paleontology of the region
