James Hyslop, head of Christie’s Scientific Equipment, Orbits and Natural History division, made a final bid on Tuesday night. Hyslop explains that very rarely can paleontologists come across complete fossils like Stan, let alone that they are available for purchase on the public market.
The last sale set a record nearly four times its estimated price of $ 8 million. The Menorasaurus Rex Shirt Hanukkah Dinosaur Menorah Tee Shirt auction opened at $ 3 million and quickly rose to the final $ 31.8 million in a 20-minute bidding war that included buyers from London and New York.
Stan is nearly 13 feet tall and nearly 40 feet long. “I will never forget the moment I first faced him,” Hyslop recalls. “He looked even bigger and more ferocious than I had imagined.”
Scientists estimate Stan will weigh nearly 8 tons when it’s alive and judging by the holes in the skull, it is hypothesized that he is a warrior, survived countless battles.
However, Stan is still far from the Menorasaurus Rex Shirt Hanukkah Dinosaur Menorah Tee Shirt biggest T. rex ever recorded. That record still belongs to Scotty, a 9.7-ton specimen discovered in the 1990s, although paleontologists found only about 65% of its bones.
The last complete dinosaur fossil was auctioned was in 1997 when an equivalent T. rex named Sue was sold to the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago for $ 8.36 million.
The only question now is where do you display such a massive skeleton?
