If I'm the seller in this article, and I'm paying for appraisals, and then carbon dating, I'm not sure how willing I would be to split money with the seller. He forked over some real cash for carbon dating. That ain't cheap.
But I agree with others. At some point, the ROI becomes too much, and throwing a bone back to the original seller is the right thing to do. I thought $300k was certainly a nice finder's fee.

Compared to the end result, caron dating isn't all that expensive.

Cultural artifact - under 500 if waiting is ok, and under 600 if you're in a rush.
Just one of the first I found on a google search. I'd expect some higher and some lower.
