Default T-Rex Auction.

Yes you heard me right they are going to auction off the fossilized remains of a T-Rex.

The sale will happen on the Las Vegas strip. The date of the event is Oct. 3 at the Venetian hotel-casino in Las Vegas.

Now I know I don't have the kind of money that it would take to purchase the big guy,whose name by the way is Sampson,but I should would like to go and watch the action.

Museums and high-rolling natural history buffs will get a crack at buying a fossilized Tyrannosaurus rex next month at a Las Vegas Strip auction.

Experts say the 170 bones discovered about 17 years ago in South Dakota represent more than half the skeleton of a 40-foot-long, 7.5 ton dinosaur that lived 66 million years ago.
Now isn't that an interesting bit of information. One of the more interesting tidbits that I have read lately and thought you all would enjoy it.
