T. rex skeleton sells for more than $5M at Zurich auction

Nearly 300 Tyrannosaurus rex bones that were dug up from three sites in the United States and assembled into a single skeleton sold Tuesday at an auction in Switzerland for 4.8 million francs ($5.3 million), below the expected price.

Crafted into an open-mouth pose, the T. rex skeleton measuring 11.6 meters long (38 feet long) and 3.9 meters high (12.8 feet) high came in under the anticipated range of 5 million to 8 million francs when it went under the hammer at the Koller auction house in Zurich.

(But where would you put it?)


The highlight of my day was having lunch with 2/3 of my Grandhunks. We ate at favorite Persian restaurant,
   
416 E 1st St. Tustin, CA 92780 •  714) 665-2262

Skewered meats & flat-breads are the focus at Naan & Kabob, this casual Persian storefront cafe.
 
Grandhunk #3 and Grandhunk #1

 Time with them is pure magic, GH#2 was at school.
 Great food, stimulating conversation & laughs ...

Spending time with grandchildren is so precious and their happiness gives energy for many more hours. Jacki, I'm glad you had a wonderful time with them.
