It is about the skeleton of a gorgosaurus.
“Gorgosaurus is a Tyrannosaurus theropod dinosaur. So it’s in the same family as Tyrannosaurus (T-Rex). This specimen came to us from Montana, the Judith River Formation,” said Sotheby’s senior vice president and head of science and popular culture Cassandra Gatton.
“Because it was found in the US, that means we can actually sell it, and that’s part of what makes this dinosaur so rare. Only a few specimens have been found. They’re all in museums. It’s the only one that’s for sale.” she added.
The skeleton measures about 3 meters in height and 6.7 meters in length.
This 77-million-year-old dinosaur skeleton has sold for $6.1 million at Sotheby’s in New York.
