The price nearly broke the record. A skeleton of a rare dinosaur sold

A well-preserved skeleton of a nanotyrannus named Jodi was sold at Sotheby's in New York for $47.3 million, significantly exceeding expectations. The auction lasted 12 minutes with six bidders participating. Jodi's skeleton is about 2.9 meters tall and 6 meters long, and its classification remains debated among paleontologists. Critics express concern that private ownership may limit research access to such valuable fossils, as they often become unavailable for educational purposes.
