For the first time in history, a dinosaur fossil is up for auction

For the first time in history, a dinosaur fossil has been put up for auction.

Dinosaurs are considered to have inhabited the earth millions of years ago.

A fossil of a dinosaur named Stegosaurus belonging to this dinosaur tribe is going to be auctioned today in New York, USA.

The auction is conducted by Sotheby's Auction Company.

This fossil, which is 11 feet tall and 20 feet long, is named Apex.

This dinosaur fossil, which was in very good condition, was found in May 2022 at the location of Morrison, Colorado, USA, where dinosaur fossils are commonly found.

About 70 percent of the bones of the fossil were found intact and archaeologists believe that it is a fossil of a stegosaurus animal that died of natural causes.

They have come to this belief because they did not recognize the fossil during examination, as it may have been in danger due to a conflict or attack by a predator.

The Apex Fossil is estimated to sell for between 4 and 6 million US dollars.

This is also the first time that a dinosaur specimen has been put up for auction.

According to the auctioneers, this is a very special situation.

Stegosaurus is a species of dinosaur believed to have lived in the Jurassic period about 150 million years ago.

These dinosaurs are famous for having a protective skin covering that extends from the neck to the tail.
