Tryannosaurus Stan, one of the largest and best T. rex skeletons ever found, went to auctions this evening. It was estimated to be worth $8 million, or (acocuonting for inflation) a couple million less than the famous Sue. Stan looked down from his three-meter-plus height as the first bid came in at $3 million, followed by one bid after another, until the insane number of $31.8m was reached. Who the bidding firm represented is not yet known, but someone is about to create a great museum exhibit - or have a showpiece that SHOULD be in a museum.
