苏富比拍卖行周二表示，斑龙恐龙将首次被拍卖，预计价格将在500万至800万美元之间。

拍卖行将于七月28日在纽约拍卖这个高10英尺、长22英尺的标本。

索斯比将这具骨骼描述为"最有价值的恐龙之一"

The Gorgosaurus roamed the earth approximately 77 million years ago.

A typical adult weighed about two tonnes, slightly smaller than its more famous relative, the Tyrannosaurus rex.

Paleontologists say it was fiercer and faster than the T-Rex, with a stronger bite of around 42,000 newtons compared to 35,000.

The skeleton was discovered in the Judith River Formation near Havre, in the US state of Montana in 2018.

The sale will mark the first time that Sotheby's has auctioned a full dinosaur skeleton since it sold Sue the T-Rex in 1997 for $8.36 million.

"All of the other specimens of Gorgosaurus that have been found are in museums," Cassandra Hatton, Sotheby's head of Science and popular culture, told AFP.

"This is the only one that you can actually buy so it's an exciting moment, both for private collectors and institutions," she added.

Unlike other countries, the United States does not restrict the sale or export of fossils, meaning the skeleton could end up overseas.
