A bag claimed to be made of real Tyrannosaurus rex skin cells.
A leather bag made from Tyrannosaurus rex cells failed to sell on Thursday, the Paris auction house Drouot said, commenting that bids were well below expected.
Auctioneers Giquello had touted the "one-of-a-kind" piece to sell for more than $500,000 (NZ$800,000) but bids barely broke the $150,000 (NZ$240,000) mark, said the Drouot house where the sale took place.
Unveiled in the spring in Amsterdam, the bag was created from traces of collagen from the femur of a T‑Rex found in the US state of Montana 25 years ago.
