A nicknamed Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton was auctioned off at a major event this week. The record-breaking auction price reached a new high.
A similar T. rex sold last year for the prior sum. The unnamed buyer of Gus is not disclosed. The skeleton is nearly complete and features uncommon parts.
Experts argue that closed sales restrict critical fossils from researchers. Research labs need full access to bones to analyze them. This latest deal continues to push dinosaur prices into extremely high range.
