Triceratops skeleton set for multi-million dollar auction sale as fossil market booms

‘Trey’ is displayed at Le Freeport, Singapore - (AP)

A triceratops skeleton, a fixture in a Wyoming museum for decades, is set to go under the hammer, marking a rare occasion where a publicly exhibited dinosaur fossil enters the auction market at a time of unprecedented demand for prehistoric remains.

Named "Trey," the fossil will be available for bids between 17 and 31 March on Joopiter, the online auction platform established by Grammy-winning artist and producer Pharrell Williams. Its pre-auction valuation stands between $4.5 million to $5.5 million.
