@Nullspeed1987 I was just reading about the "suits" getting involved with the show and messaging with the chemistry. I must admit this is something that concerns me about what "they" might do to Stargate
@HHomeFoods@AmazonMGMStudio@MichaelShanks Love Daniel. I was so upset when he was gone, but it made my day when he came back. I can only imagine how it would be to see him, Carter, O'Neil and Teal'c again ❤️
A Tyrannosaurus rex fossil known as “Gus” is expected to sell for as much as 30 million dollars, potentially setting a new record for dinosaur remains.
The specimen is one of the most complete and largest T rex skeletons ever found. It measures around 38 feet long and stands about 12.5 feet tall. Scientists have identified 183 fossilised bones, which make up roughly 82 percent of the full skeleton.
Gus was uncovered in 2021 on a ranch in South Dakota after the landowner noticed fragments of bone and teeth appearing in the soil. Paleontologists later excavated the site over several years and spent additional time carefully preparing and reconstructing the fossil.
The skeleton includes a well preserved skull over 4 feet long, along with major elements such as a wishbone and pelvis. Researchers described the work as a complex process of reassembling a prehistoric puzzle made up of bones separated for tens of millions of years.
Before the auction, Gus will be exhibited in New York City starting July 1, then it will be sold at a Sotheby’s natural history auction on July 14. The estimated price range is between 20 million and 30 million dollars, which would surpass previous records.
The sale has also renewed discussion within the scientific community. Some experts are concerned that fossils sold to private buyers may become inaccessible for study, while others argue that private discovery and ownership can help bring important finds to light.
The current record for a dinosaur fossil is held by “Sue,” another T rex specimen, which sold for just over 8 million dollars in 1997 and is now displayed at the Field Museum in Chicago. If Gus reaches its expected value, it will become the most expensive dinosaur fossil ever sold.
