The T-rex, which has the name ''Samson'', was believed to be 66 million years old and was found in the US state of South Dakota in 1992, auction house Bonhams & Butterfields said. ''We have approximately a 57 percent complete T-rex, which means the third most complete ever found,'' said the auction house's Thomas Lindgren. He estimated the dinosaur skeleton would fetch about US$6-8 million (NZ$8.8-11.8 million). - Reuters Link to auction house and to see picture and info about T-Rex skeleton: http://www.bonhams.com/us/

1. Marc Bolans skeleton...fraid not hun....lmao
2. Yea and then Id donate the bones to the dogs at the local animal shelter :D
3. Maybe if I had the estimated $8m to spend. I hope it gets picked up by a major museum, finds like that shouldn't be in private collections. I've never seen a semi complete T Rex. I did see a head in Vienna once in their Natural History museum. That was amazing. I actually did bid on a dinosaur egg cast once online. It was an exact replica of a hadrosaur egg for about 70USD. I never got it but it would have been very nice. That experience taught me of the importance of casting these ancient remains and safe storing the originals.
4. cool link... If I had the money to do it....no...I would not. Why you ask? Because what would I do with it? Nothing. I don't even have any dogs. Maybe I would make an awesome slide out of it going into a pool!!
5. Hey fantastic , just the sort of thing to have as a conversation piece in my lounge room....
