The 11ft and tall and 20ft long fossil, nicknamed Apex, could fetch up to $6m as it’s celebrated as ‘one of the best unearthed’

Makes me sad it’s being sold instead of studied. “For Profit Paleontology” leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

    If they are replicated more than once then this sounds like a good deal.

    So long as science has access to the originals.

      The best fossils are reproduced a lot. I think Stan the trex is bought by an investor in Abu Dhabi. But we got copies of it all over the world.
