Haven't you always wanted a Stegosaurus in your living room? I think I'll bid on the T. rex. It would look great in my office. Do you think my students might be intimidated?
Don't tell anyone at Liberty University. They could build up a whole collection of fossils labeled as being '3000 years old'...

ReplyDeleteBy the sight of two dinosaurs?
The Tyrannosaurus rex skull (lot 11) is a replica, with a pre-auction estimate of $1000-2000. If I had the cash, I'd go for lot 18, the Triceratops sp. skull. Triceratops was always my favorite dinsosaur, but with a pre-auction estimate of $150,000-200,000 it "ain't gonna happen".
ReplyDeleteMore than Dinosaurs on the list too. The last 2 are plants.
