Mystery bidder buys T. rex nicknamed 'Gus' for a record $50 million

A Tyrannosaurus rex fossil named 'Gus' sold for $50.1 million to an anonymous bidder, setting a new record for dinosaur fossils. The previous record was nearly $45 million for a stegosaurus in 2024, and 'Gus' replaces a T. rex named 'Stan' as the most expensive dinosaur fossil sold. Scientists advocate for 'Gus' to be publicly displayed in a museum.
