T-Rex Skeleton Sells for Record $50.1M

The fossil, one of the most complete T. rex specimens ever discovered, drew seven bidders in a ten-minute auction battle.

The sale intensifies a booming market for dinosaur remains, raising concerns among scientists that such specimens become inaccessible to museums.

The previous record was held by a stegosaurus named Apex.

Gus will now likely enter a private collection, fueling debate over the commercialisation of natural history.
