Sotheby's auction house in New York is gearing up to auction off the nearly complete fossilized remains of a 161-million-year-old stegosaurus discovered in Colorado in 2022. The dinosaur, named Apex, stands at an impressive 11 feet tall and measures 27 feet from nose to tail, making it a remarkable specimen in the world of paleontology.
The stegosaurus is easily recognizable by its distinctive pointy dorsal plates, which have made it one of the most iconic dinosaurs known to mankind. The fossil was unearthed in May 2022 on private land near Dinosaur, Colorado, and the excavation process was completed in October 2023.
