One of the largest and most complete Tyrannosaurus skeletons has been auctioned off for 31-point-8 million U.S. dollars on Tuesday, setting a record for the highest price paid for dinosaur fossils.
Christie's, the auction house that sold off the T-rex, says the price was nearly four times the estimated value, which was 8 million dollars.
Made up of one-hundred-88 bones, the dinosaur fossil is 40 feet long, 13 feet high, and is approximately 67 million years old.
The dinosaur even has a name "Stan" named after an amateur paleontologist who first discovered his bones in 1987.
