A 66-million-year-old Triceratops fossil, Trey, is auctioned for $4.5M–$5.5M, reflecting rising fossil investment trends.
A 66-million-year-old Triceratops skeleton named Trey, discovered in Wyoming in 1993 and long displayed at the Wyoming Dinosaur Center, is set for auction from March 17 to 31 on Joopiter, an online platform co-founded by Pharrell Williams, with an estimated value of $4.5 million to $5.5 million.
The fossil, now in Singapore for private viewings, was recently sold in a private transaction and has been on loan at the museum since 1995.
Its auction reflects a growing trend of dinosaur fossils becoming high-value investments, with recent sales like a stegosaurus fetching $44.6 million.
Experts express concern that rising prices may limit museum access and scientific research, though advocates hope Trey will be loaned to a museum, following precedents like the "Apex" T. rex.
