A Tyrannosaurus-Rex skeleton dating back 67 million years will be auctioned in Switzerland next month, marking the first such sale in Europe, the auction house said Saturday, March 11.
But Christian Link, in charge of natural history memorabilia at Koller, told AFP he believed that was a"very low estimate." The two sites are known for the discoveries of two other significant T-Rex skeletons that have gone to auction: Sue went under the hammer in 1997 for $8.4 million , and Stan, which took the world-record hammer price of $31.8 million at Christie's, in 2020.
Just over half of the bone material in the skeleton comes from the three Tyrannosaurus specimens, he said. Auction sales of dinosaur skeletons and other fossils have raked in tens of millions of dollars in recent years, but experts have warned the trade could be harmful to science by putting the specimens in private hands and out of the reach of researchers.
