A nearly intact skeleton of a Tyrannosaurus sold for 1.05 million dollar at an auction in New York, United States. The sale has been disputed by the Mongolian government, which has questioned whether it was obtained legally. The skeleton of the Tyrannosaurus bataar, a smaller Asian cousin of the fearsome Tyrannosaurus Rex that roamed North America during the Cretaceous period about 80 million years ago, measures (2.4 meters) and 24 feet long (7.3 meters), according to a statement by Heritage Auctions, which conducted the sale in New York.
It was discovered in the Gobi Desert, which stretches across portions of northern China and southern Mongolia. Heritage Auctions President Greg Rohan said he does not know in which country the skeleton was found.
