‘Trinity’ the T-Rex skeleton sells for $6m to private collector

It's hoped that the skeleton, made up of the bones of three different Tyrannosaurus Rex, will remain on public display

A Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton called Trinity - made up of the bones of three different T-Rexes - has sold for US$6.1m in a rare auction in Switzerland.

The skeleton, estimated to be 65m to 67m years old, had been expected to fetch a higher price after it was put up for sale by an anonymous US individual. It was bought by a private European collector of modern art and dinosaur relics at the Koller auction house in Zurich.
