Export of early reptiles, crocodylomorphs, shark teeth for ESRF scanning

I seek permission to temporarily export fossils of early reptiles, crocodylomorphs, and the teeth of freshwater hybodont sharks for high resolution scanning at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility in Grenoble, France. These fossils are being scanned using phase contrast tomography, uniquely available to South African scientists due to our ongoing scientific relationship with the ESRF. The scans will form part of two different PhD degrees and ongoing collaborative research projects with scientists in South Africa and in the USA. These fossils will be exported from Western Cape and Gauteng Province and returned to same.
