T. rex fossil may become the most expensive dinosaur ever sold
A nearly complete Tyrannosaurus rex specimen named Gus is set to be auctioned, with a pre-sale value of around $30 million, possibly making it the most expensive dinosaur ever sold. Discovered after a three-year excavation in South Dakota, Gus provides significant scientific insight due to its well-preserved bones and evidence of battle injuries. The auction raises concerns among scientists about the accessibility of such specimens for research, as the rising prices and private ownership threaten their scientific and educational value.
