NEW YORK (AP) — A T. rex skeleton has been discovered. Sotheby's announced Tuesday that a T. rex relative that roamed the earth about 76 million years ago will be auctioned off in New York this month.
The Gorgosaurus skeleton will be the centerpiece of Sotheby's natural history auction on July 28, according to the auction house.
During the late Cretaceous Period, the Gorgosaurus was an apex carnivore that lived in what is now the western United States and Canada. It was 10 million years older than the Tyrannosaurus rex.
According to Sotheby's, the specimen being auctioned was discovered in the Judith River Formation near Havre, Montana, in 2018. It stands nearly 10 feet (3 meters) tall and 22 feet (6.7 meters) long.
According to the auction house, all of the other known Gorgosaurus skeletons are in museum collections, making this the only specimen available for private ownership.
"In my career, I've had the privilege of handling and selling many exceptional and unique objects, but few have the capacity to inspire wonder and capture imaginations quite like this incredible Gorgosaurus skeleton," Sotheby's global head of science and popular culture Cassandra Hatton said.
The fossil's presale estimate at Sotheby's is $5 million to $8 million.
