Nearly 300 Tyrannosaurus rex bones that were dug up from three sites in the United States and assembled into a single skeleton have sold at auction for 4.8 million francs or $5.3 million in Switzerland.
Nearly 300 Tyrannosaurus rex bones that were dug up from three sites in the United States and assembled into a single skeleton sold Tuesday at an auction in Switzerland for 4.8 million francs or $5.3 million, below the expected price.
Koller had said Tuesday’s sale would be the first time such a T. rex skeleton would go up for auction in Europe. The composite skeleton, featuring 293 bones, was a showpiece of an auction that featured some 70 lots, and the skull was set up next to the auctioneer's podium throughout. Green did not identify the buyer, but said it was a “European private collector.” Including the “buyer's premium” and fees, the sale came to 5.5 million Swiss francs or about $6.1 million, Koller said.
