The fossils of a Tyrannosaurus Rex, called Hector, were auctioned off last week for $12.4 million dollars. Hector isn’t any old T-Rex. He’s the inspiration behind the movie prop in Jurassic Park; the fossils hanging from the ceiling and standing on its feet. Hector is one of the most complete sets of bones ever found. That final price is double what the initial bid was.
Dwayne Johnson has a T-Rex skull in his office. It’s a replica of T-Rex named Stan after the guy who found it. The actual Stan sold at auction for $31.8 million in 2020 to an anonymous buyer.
