Christie's has withdrawn a Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton from sale, with just days to go until the historic auction, after a paleontologist said the fossil largely comprises copyrighted replica bones from another specimen.

Both Santangelo and Larson told CNN the changes didn't go far enough toward addressing their concerns but added that Christie's had done the right thing by withdrawing the skeleton from auction.

Larson said he is in touch with Shen's current owner in order"to make sure this doesn't happen again." "In my own opinion, there are only cons," P. David Polly, a professor and chair of the department of earth and atmospheric sciences at Indiana University Bloomington, told CNN, when Sotheby's sold the skeleton of a Gorgosaurus, a relative of the T. rex, for just over $6 million.
