Abstract: | Se presenta el caso de los peruanos Klaus Hönninger Mitraini y Carlos A. Vildoso Morales, considerados como paleontólogos de prestigio en los medios de comunicación de su pais. Ambos lideran empresas de apariencia institucional, el llamado "Museo Paleontológico Meyer-Hönninger" y el "Instituto Peruano de Estudios en Paleovertebrados", respectivamente. Las actividades de "investigación cientifica" del primero han sido prácticamente desactivadas por las auroridades del Ministero de Cultura, tras exigirle permisos de prospección, y también por la denuncia pública de fraude en el I Simposio Internacional Paleontologia de Perú (Lima, 2013). Sin embargo, las operaciones del segundo, quien esgrime una falsa titulación en Paleontologia por la Universidad de La Plata (Agentina), han experimentado un incremento sustantivo, con contratos sobre aptrimonio paleontológico suscritos con la organización del rally Dakar 2014 y compañías mineras, hasta el punto de que C. A. Vildoso ostenta actualmente el cargo de presidente del comité organizador del IX Congreso Latinoamericano de Paleontologia. = The case of Klaus Hönninger Mitrani and Carlos A. Vildoso Morales from Peru, considered prestigious palaeontologists by the media in their country is discussed here. They both lead official-looking businesses, the “Meyer-Hönninger Palaeontological Museum” and the “Peruvian Institute of Palaeovertebrate Studies”, respectively. The “scientific research” activities of the former have been basically desactivated by authorities of the Ministry of Culture, after requiring it to obtain prospection permits, and after a public complaint for fraud in the First International Simposium of Palaeontology of Peru (Lima, 2013). However, the dealings of the latter, who claims to have a title on Palaeontology from the University of La Plata (Argentina), which is fake, has experienced a considerable increase, with palaeontological heritage contracts with the organization of the 2014 Dakar Rally and mining companies. The prominence of the position he has attained is such that he is the President of the Organising Committee of the IX Latinamerican Palaeontological Congress. |
