Jub jub worth lots of trillion she's more worthy then rock skelleton
I was SOLD until i saw the million after $50.
I was willing to go up to $125.
If a Skeleton Dinausar Fossil worth $ 50 millions of dollars for just skeleton the most rarest fossil then I had found and discovered the most rarest beautiful fossil ithat's shocking all over the world. This is My Golden Sea Coral Turtle Fossil with designs unbelievable species big and small fishes like Dolphin, seahorse, a Crab on the celestial body there were symbols like heart, whirpool and Bermuda Triangle. And i gave named The Masterpiece of Poseidon because it is CORAL depth on the Sea. Turtles that Ancient History because turtles had been lived on earth for 260 millions of years making them older than Dinausars not only this one but i had also an unbelievable Seahell Fossil with designed pattern lines of a MAP, i thought myself that there is UNDERWORLD on the depth of the Sea. Poseidon is God of the Sea, King of the Seas he has power more than human and he is immortal controlling all over the seas.
im thinking 200-300 mill for that!! gawd pokemon card goes for 16M! .. that Dinasour deserve more
Stupid and pointless. Rich billionaires don’t know what else to do with their money.
I’d helped so many people in need with all that money.
All we need is a giant penny and we got half the bat cave 😂
How long until some museum cries, and a government steals it from them.
If you really think about it, the arms are small because they are wings
It's just bones.
I am eating it's decendents rn. 🐔🍗
Wow that's it, with all the dumb stuff that people but I thought something that cool and historic would have sold for more.
Yes we all want a skeleton in our living room. I'm sure…
Then I thought SUE was worth much back in the 1990S?
Commercial Paleontology sounds so icky.
Better question is what will be walking the earth 65 million years from now?????
TWENTY MILLIONS!
Why is crap like this on the news when we’re about to enter a full-on apocalypse?
Is it real 😂
Dang i Would of paid 51million
So cool to see something that walked around 65 million years ago
Man, back in my day you could've bought the Fossil for $1 Million. Money just don't do what it used to.
I need someone to answer this question for me. Surely they are not gonna use the 'real t-rex fossils' to put that rex structure together. They will be brittle and delicate. SO the whole thing is a recreation using a plaster cast of the bones Im assuming ? So, someone rich paid 50 million for a recreation of ancient fossils? Let me know if Im getting anything wrong!
Well now I see why those archeologists spend all that time in the dirt and heat.
Very very cool.
Hope whoever bought it don’t put it in their front yard🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
Since when is bones valued that much, if at all?
It’s all about the money
Stupid world we live in run by only a few rich men.
Bro has spent $50 million on a fake bones
If I purchased it I would put it in a Museum, it's even more cool to take your rich friends into a world class museum and point out the big attraction: That's mine…
Nic Cage bought one for 50 million
25 years ago.
People can hardly afford to keep a roof and food with healthcare, others are going homeless but thank god this skeleton sold for 50 million!
Who bought it
Bro, a live one sold for $10 million
Psyop stories be like
definitely a money scam! Think people
I wanna see it come to a natural history museum! Maybe I can purchase it for a future natural history museum in New Jersey!
Cool
Rich people ruining things for everyone else again
How much for the astroid😊
People who want to whinge about a privately funded dig that finds something cool are the same people that have never donated to an educational institution which is a big way digs are funded.
Seems like a pretty good deal. I think I remember someone paying 4x-5x that for a painting a few years ago. This is way better.
That old dinosaur reminds me of Mitch McConnell…
Money money money.
It belongs in a museum…
