A highly sought-after Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton was auctioned off at an exclusive event recently. The staggering auction price hit an unprecedented high.
A previous T. rex set the old record for a lower sum. The anonymous buyer of this specimen remains hidden. The skeleton is nearly complete and includes uncommon parts.
Experts warn that closed sales restrict critical fossils from scientists. Research labs need open access to bones to analyze them. This latest deal continues to drive dinosaur prices into extremely high range.
