There’s a dinosaur auction to take place on October 3rd in Las Vegas. Wired has the story at “Want Your Own Dinosaur? Place Your Bids.”
Here’s an excerpt of the Wired story:
If you ever dreamed of owning your own dinosaur, now’s your chance. Possibly the most impressive natural history auction ever is set to take place Oct. 3 at the Venetian Casino in Las Vegas.
The main event will be Samson, one of the best T. rex skeletons ever found. But there are around 50 lots for sale, including many impressive, museum-quality rarities, all of which will be on display to the public in the weeks preceding the auction.
“The items we have in this auction are definitely museum standard, or better,” said Tom Lindgren, co-director of natural history for the auction house Bonhams & Butterfields told Wired.com in August. “Most of the museums in the world don’t have anything near what we have in this auction.”
Highlights will include the largest shark jaw ever found, a giant pig skull and a duck-billed dinosaur.
In our schools, there’s a Music Parents meeting at 6:30 p.m. at the high school.
