The fossil 'great war of dinosaurs' is auctioned

A rare fossil record of two dinosaurs fighting against each other will be auctioned in the US in November, with prices expected to reach $ 9 million.

Fossils of dinosaurs were found in the state of Montana, USA in 2006 with an almost intact state. They belong to the carnivorous Nanotyrannus lancensis , a small tyrant dinosaur, and Chasmosaurus ceratopsian , a relative of the triceratops.

It is expected that dinosaur fossils will be auctioned at $ 7 million to $ 9 million at Bonhams auction center, New York City.

Information gathered from fossils shows that two dinosaurs had a life-and-death battle with many serious injuries that could be fatal. The Nanotyrannus dinosaur's teeth were found in Chasmosaurus skulls, while the Nanotyrannus skull and chest were destroyed from the powerful chatter of the Chasmosaurus. Considering the current state of fossils, it is believed that the dinosaurs were buried by sedimentary layers after dying from wounds from the war.

In Bonhams 'report, these dinosaurs may be the key to answering archaeologists' confusing questions.

According to UPI, the American Museum of Natural History and the Smithsonian Institute were given the opportunity to buy the rare fossil record before the auction, but they did not take advantage of the opportunity.

Thomas Carr, a senior scientific advisor at the Museum of Dinosaurs and Paleontology in Wisconsin, said that auctioning fossils at a high price would make it a part of the collection. personal, and make it difficult for scientists to research.

A museum can buy a fossil sample for research, but the $ 9 million price is a huge number that no museum can afford.
