Dinosaur skeleton sells for $1.2 million at French auction
A 75% complete dinosaur skeleton fetched $1.2 million at a French auction, bought by an unnamed buyer. The 7-metre long, 2-metre tall skeleton was unearthed in 2013 in the Jurassic Era Morrison Formation, the most abundant source of dinosaur fossils in North America. It belonged to an allosaurus, a carnivore that went extinct 135 million years ago.
