Samson, a Tyrannosaurus Rex whose near-complete skeleton was found in South Dakota in 1992, is up for sale in Las Vegas. Auctioneers hope to get between 6 and 8 million dollars for the skeleton thought to be 66 million years old.

Expensive bones indeed. Better not let my dogs in there with him, either. :)

What in the world would you do with a dinasour--well, the bones--in your house?? I love, love, love, dinasours but Samson wouldn't fit in my tiny place...why would the museum want sale the bones? Never heard of a museum doing that before. Thanks Mich!! xx =)

Would do nicely in my front yard. Would rig up a couple of speakers, get some automation into those old bones, and when the next riot explodes here - flip a switch and see them run.....
