This apex predator is 16 feet tall and 43 feet long.
Believed to be male, Shen dates from the Late Cretaceous period (about 67 million years ago).
Christie’s auction is particularly notable due to its location.
Currently, most T. rex skeletons are located in Natural History Museums in North America and Europe.
By holding the auction in Hong Kong, it’s more likely that Shen will end up in Asia.
Though, of course, that’s not a given.
Wherever Shen ends up, his new owner will have the pleasure of naming him.
But whoever wants the privilege of adding Shen to their collection will need to have deep pockets.
It’s believed that this incredible specimen will fetch over $25 million.
On November 30, Christie’s Hong Kong will auction aTyrannosaurus rexskeleton named Shen.
Measuring 16 feet tall and 43 feet long, Shen is a scientifically important specimen.
