United KingdomA nearly complete Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton named 'Gus,' measuring 38 feet (11.6 meters) in body length, was displayed at Sotheby's auction house in New York ahead of its sale later in July 2026. Discovered in 2021 on a cattle ranch in South Dakota, Gus is valued between $20 million and $30 million, marking the highest price estimate ever for a dinosaur fossil. The specimen, which dates back to the Maastrichtian period (72–66 million years ago), includes 183 fossilized bones and is approximately 63% complete. It will remain on display in New York until July 14, after which it will be auctioned.
