A 67-million-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex known as "Gus" is expected to fetch at least $30 million at a #Sotheby's auction, reigniting debate over whether scientifically significant fossils should be sold to private collectors or preserved in museums.
The specimen is among the most complete T. rex skeletons ever discovered, with 61 percent of its bones identified after a six-year excavation and reconstruction effort.
Scientists warn that fossils sold into private collections could become inaccessible for future research, while auctioneers argue that commercial fossil hunters play a vital role in recovering and preserving specimens.
