The ongoing proactive repatriation of four dinosaur eggs and a Confuciusornis sanctus specimen from the Manchester Museum to China is discussed. Except for this example, proactive repatriation of geological specimens does not yet happen. This paper is a call to those who look after geological collections to check that collections were legally acquired and to welcome repatriation requests and the opportunities presented by them.}, journal={Geoconservation Research (Geoconserv.
