T. rex skeleton sells for more than $5M at auction
At an auction in Switzerland on Tuesday, a T. rex skeleton made up of nearly 300 bones from three sites in the United States was sold for 4.8 million francs ($5.3 million), falling short of the expected price.
The composite skeleton, which measures 11.6 meters long (38 feet) and 3.9 meters high (12.8 feet), was crafted in an open-mouth pose and was estimated to sell for between 5 million to 8 million francs at the Koller auction house in Zurich.
This marked the first time that such a T. rex skeleton was offered for sale at an auction in Europe. The skull was displayed alongside the auctioneer’s podium during the sale, which included approximately 70 lots.
Karl Green, the marketing director of the auction house, suggested that the composite nature of the skeleton could be why some dinosaur purists did not bid on it, the Associated Press reported.
