T-Rex skeleton brings $31.8 million

A 40-foot-long T-Rex dinosaur fossil named Stan was sold for $31.8 million at an auction. It became the most expensive item of the auction that day. In the twenty-minute bidding war that ended with buyers on the telephone in London and New York, the price rocketed up from a start of?$3 million. However, the buyer's name is still a secret. Archaeologists who found Stan said: “He looked even larger than I’d imagined.”
