💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🦖💰 A T. rex #skeleton named Gus, found in #SouthDakota in 2021, is heading to auction at #Sotheby’s with an estimated price of $20 to $30 million.
The 11.5 meter specimen is one of the largest and most complete T. rex skeletons ever found. Paleontologist Scott Persons argues that sums like this could instead fund a career’s worth of #fieldwork and public exhibition at a #museum.
