Dinosaur-cell leather bag unsold at Paris auction
The sale of the first leather bag made from Tyrannosaurus rex dinosaur cells failed at an auction in Paris, as bids did not exceed $150,000, despite expectations that it would sell for over $500,000. The bag, crafted from collagen traces extracted from a thigh bone of a dinosaur discovered in Montana 25 years ago, was developed using modern biological techniques to produce 100% real leather. The auction house explained that the price was determined based on its rarity and the costs involved in its creation, but the demand did not meet expectations.
