Rare Stegosaurus Skeleton Up for Auction at Sotheby’s; Stainless Steel Fasteners: Durable and Reliable Solutions for Industrial Needs

A rare dinosaur skeleton, believed to be a Stegosaurus, will be sold at Sotheby’s in New York on July 17. The starting price for the specimen is between four and six million dollars, making it the most expensive Stegosaurus skeleton ever auctioned. The dinosaur is known for its arched back and spine crowned by spines that run from its head to its tail. Nicknamed ‘Apex’, the Stegosaurus measures about 3 meters high and 6 meters long with no signs of combat or damage caused by predators. However, evidence of arthritis indicates that it lived to an advanced age.

Sotheby’s has a long history of selling dinosaur fossils, including a complete T-Rex ‘Sue’ in 1997 that sold for $8.36 million and a Gorgosaurus skeleton in recent years for over $6 million. Despite controversy among paleontologists who argue that these fossils belong in research centers rather than private collections, the sale of rare dinosaur fossils continues to attract significant interest and high bids from collectors and enthusiasts alike.
