kleinbl00 is absolutely correct. There is no danger of it being claimed by the government, the laws regarding geological finds are different then archeological finds. Fossils, and other rare stones, can still be owned by private citizens. Given that your father was a professional paleontologist, I doubt you have to worry about it being obtained illegally, though really any legal action would have already happened. For all of that, it is a rather nice specimen. It's visually cool at the very least. If you don't have children who are interested in it, pretty please leave it to a museum in your will (check with your attorney how to do that).
