A T rex skeleton that was assembled from nearly 300 bones
dug up in the US was sold at an auction in
Zurich Switzerland for more than $5 million. Marking the first time a T rex skeleton
went up for auction in Europe.
The collar auction house did not identify the buyer but a spokesperson noted that
it's a fair price and expressed hope that it will be shown publicly.
The composite T rex named Trinity was built from specimens found
at three sites in Montana and Wyoming from 2008 to 2013.
The auction house saying the skull was particularly rare and well preserved
with original bone material comprising more than half of the restored skeleton.
Amazing.
