LONDON, July 6 — A skeleton of a Gorgosaurus dinosaur is going up for auction for the first time and is expected to fetch between US$5 million and US$8 million , Sotheby’s said yesterday.
Sotheby’s described the skeleton as “one of the most valuable dinosaurs to ever appear on the market.” The Gorgosaurus roamed the earth approximately 77 million years ago. Palaeontologists say it was fiercer and faster than the T-Rex, with a stronger bite of around 42,000 newtons compared to 35,000. The sale will mark the first time that Sotheby’s has auctioned a full dinosaur skeleton since it sold Sue the T-Rex in 1997 for US$8.36 million.
