$45 million dollar sale of a Stegosaur Skeleton
A 150-million-year-old, nearly complete Stegosaurus skeleton sold for a record $44.6 million at auction.
Sotheby’s, which handled the sale in New York, described the fossil as the “most complete” and “best preserved” Stegosaurus specimen of its size ever discovered. The huge skeleton, measuring 11 feet tall and 20 feet long, was nicknamed “Apex.”
