A rare dinosaur skeleton has been sold to an anonymous buyer for more than six million dollars. It is about the fossil of a Gorgosaurus that was discovered in 2018 and was auctioned by Sotheby's, in New York. There are only 20 similar fossils known to exist worldwide.
This one you see is one of the most expensive dinosaur skeletons ever sold at auction. The complete skeleton of a Gorgosaurus fetched a whopping $6.1 million in New York. This type of dinosaur lived more than 70 million years ago and resembled Tyrannosaurus rex.
It was not initially revealed who bought the skeleton, which was about three meters high and almost seven meters long, and was discovered in 2018 in the US state of Montana. According to the auction house, it was the first skeleton of such a dinosaur to ever be offered at auction.

Most Gorgosaurus fossils have been found in Canada, and all remains found so far are in public collections. This is the only specimen of its kind offered in private ownership. There are only 20 similar fossils known to exist worldwide.
The world record price for dinosaur fossils remains $31.8 million, sold at an online auction to a private buyer in 2020. However, many experts are critical of the auction of skeletons of scientific value.
