Paris -- The 150 million-year-old, largely-intact skeleton of a still-unknown species of dinosaur went to auction today in Paris and sold for more than two million dollars - and if paleontologists’ hunches prove true, the mystery winning bidder may get a chance to bestow a name on a previously undiscovered species.
The remains of the prehistoric predator – which is 30 feet long and 9 feet high - were discovered at Morrison Formation site in Wyoming in 2013.
“The skeleton is 70% complete,” paleontologist Eric Mickeler told ABC News while observing the skeleton. “This is remarkable to have such a large amount of original fossilized bones."
Mickeler, the valuation expert for the French auction house Aguttes, said experts have never documented a species quite like this one.

“Scientists first thought it was an allosaurus, but after an in-depth examination, the skeleton presented major anatomical differences from known allosaurs - notably more teeth and distinctive bones."
Whatever it proves to be, Mickeler said the the dinosaur lived a long life.
“Looking at them, we can tell this carnivorous dinosaur died at an old age.”
Still, Mickeler said that additional research will be required to confirm that the painstakingly reproduced skeleton is truly a fresh discovery.

You’d think that once you find a nearly complete dinosaur skeleton most of the hard work would be behind you, but that wasn’t the case with one particular collection of fossils discovered in Wyoming a few years back. The skeleton, which is in great condition, stands nearly nine feet tall and almost 30 feet long, and it just sold to a private buyer for over $2.36 million. The only problem? Nobody knows exactly what it is.
Details surrounding the fossil are scant, and we don’t know much besides a handful of basics. CNN reports that it was removed from its stoney tomb sometime between 2013 and 2015, and that it was in the possession of a private collector before hitting an auction block in Paris.
Aguttes, the auction house that handled its sale, noted that the skeleton was examined by a pair of experts before bidding began. They came to the conclusion that the creature was similar to an Allosaurus, a Jurassic carnivore that walked upright on two legs and was similar in shape to the iconic Tyrannosaurus. Those types of dinosaurs are called theropods, and there are lots of them. However, it’s not a perfect match to the Allosaurus, meaning that it could be an entirely unclassified species that is new to science.

Details surrounding the fossil are scant, and we don’t know much besides a handful of basics. CNN reports that it was removed from its stoney tomb sometime between 2013 and 2015, and that it was in the possession of a private collector before hitting an auction block in Paris.
Aguttes, the auction house that handled its sale, noted that the skeleton was examined by a pair of experts before bidding began. They came to the conclusion that the creature was similar to an Allosaurus, a Jurassic carnivore that walked upright on two legs and was similar in shape to the iconic Tyrannosaurus. Those types of dinosaurs are called theropods, and there are lots of them. However, it’s not a perfect match to the Allosaurus, meaning that it could be an entirely unclassified species that is new to science.

You’d think that once you find a nearly complete dinosaur skeleton most of the hard work would be behind you, but that wasn’t the case with one particular collection of fossils discovered in Wyoming a few years back. The skeleton, which is in great condition, stands nearly nine feet tall and almost 30 feet long, and it just sold to a private buyer for over $2.36 million. The only problem? Nobody knows exactly what it is.

Details surrounding the fossil are scant, and we don’t know much besides a handful of basics. CNN reports that it was removed from its stoney tomb sometime between 2013 and 2015, and that it was in the possession of a private collector before hitting an auction block in Paris.
Aguttes, the auction house that handled its sale, noted that the skeleton was examined by a pair of experts before bidding began. They came to the conclusion that the creature was similar to an Allosaurus, a Jurassic carnivore that walked upright on two legs and was similar in shape to the iconic Tyrannosaurus. Those types of dinosaurs are called theropods, and there are lots of them. However, it’s not a perfect match to the Allosaurus, meaning that it could be an entirely unclassified species that is new to science.

You’d think that once you find a nearly complete dinosaur skeleton most of the hard work would be behind you, but that wasn’t the case with one particular collection of fossils discovered in Wyoming a few years back. The skeleton, which is in great condition, stands nearly nine feet tall and almost 30 feet long, and it just sold to a private buyer for over $2.36 million. The only problem? Nobody knows exactly what it is.

Edward Joseph "Ed" Snowden, born June 21, 1983 in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, is an American whistleblower and former CIA employee who worked as a consultant for the US Security Intelligence Agency. Snowden leaked classified documents proving the existence of large-scale and top-secret surveillance projects such as PRISM and Boundless Informant. He has also leaked documents that he believes show that the United States and the United Kingdom are conducting hacking attacks against computers all over the world, including the delegates at the G20 meeting in London in 2009, as well as in Hong Kong and mainland China. Snowden submitted the documents to The Guardian and The Washington Post in June 2013. In December 2014, Snowden was awarded the Right Livelihood Award (sometimes referred to as the "Alternative Nobel Prize").
