This rare T. Rex fossil is being sold on eBay, enraging paleontologists who say it belongs in a museum
Fossil hunter Alan Detrich posted an eBay listing for what may be the only fossil of its kind in the world, sparking major opposition from scientists."Most Likely the Only BABY T-Rex in the World! It has a 15 FOOT long Body and a 21" SKULL with Serrated Teeth!" reads the listing for the skeleton, which Detrich discovered near Jordan, Montana. The Buy It Now price is $2.95 million."This Rex was very a very dangerous meat eater.
"Scientifically important fossils like the juvenile tyrannosaur are clues to our collective natural heritage and deserve to be held in public trust."The seller is a professional fossil hunter.The SVP criticized Detrich for the listing and the University of Kansas, which had displayed the fossil until recently, for potentially increasing its commercial value and making it less likely to remain in the public trust.
