6천7백만년 된 '티라노사우루스 화석' 크리스티 경매 전 첫 공개
One of largest and most complete Tyrannosaurus skeletons unearthed is to be auctioned off.
Made up of one-hundred-88 bones, the dinosaur fossil is 40 feet long, 13 feet high, and is approximately 67 million years old.
The dinosaur even has a name "Stan" named after an amateur paleontologist who first discovered his bones in 1987.
Christie's, the auction house selling off the T-rex, says the estimated value of the specimen is between 6 million to 8 million U.S. dollars.
Stan will be displayed at Christie's in New York, until the auction on October 6th.
And that does it for today's edition of 'The World Now'. I'll be back next time with more updates from around the world.
