Dinosaur's Estimated Price Falls by 11M
A rare dinosaur skeleton estimated to be around 67 million years old was auctioned in New York after recent research revealed that it belongs to the genus Nanotyrannus rather than Tyrannosaurus rex. This discovery led to a reduction in its estimated value from $20 million to between $6 million and $9 million. The skeleton, nicknamed "Judy," is approximately 6 meters long and features a more slender body and longer limbs. It is one of only three known specimens of its genus. Discovered in 2019 in Montana, it was found to have coexisted with T. rex during the Cretaceous period. The skeleton is expected to be sold at Sotheby’s auction on October 27, amid debate over the sale of rare fossils to private collectors and its implications for researchers’ access.
