The skull of the famous Tyrannosaurus Maximus will be sold at auction.

Auction house Sotheby's will put up for auction in New York in December the skull of Tyrannosaurus Maximus - one of the best and most completely preserved on Earth. The 76 million year old fossil is valued at $15-20 million. At the same time, there are two punctures on the skull. Most likely, Maximus fought fiercely with another tyrannosaurus. Perhaps it was in this fight that he died. Maximus is not the first Hell Creek Tyrannosaurus to be auctioned. In 1997, an almost complete skeleton of his relative named Sue was sold for 8.36 million dollars. In 2020, the remains of Stan's Tyrannosaurus Rex went under the hammer for $31.8 million. And on November 30 of this year, a 1.4-ton Shen skeleton will be sold in Hong Kong.
