This 67-million-year-old skeleton is now the most expensive set of dinosaur bones ever sold, surpassing previous records held by a stegosaurus and another T. rex. "Gus" is billed one of the world's largest and most complete specimens, standing 12 ½ feet tall and 38 feet long, and is approximately 63 per cent complete. Discovered in South Dakota in 2021, the fossil was named in honor of property owner, Gary Licking, who passed away during the excavation and restoration process.
