Massive auctions of fossils have been on trend lately; we are all seemingly more and more interested in diving deep into the history of the Earth. As we look deeper, it turns out that human beings are still in search of the history of our planet. It becomes apparent when we see the massive auctions of species that existed on planet earth millions of years ago. Dinosaurs are one of them. Thus, there have been massive auctions of the fossils of dinosaurs across the United States. Recently, a massive auction of dinosaur fossils, called T-rex, made headlines not only in the U.S but throughout the world. The skeleton was sold at an auction for millions of dollars.

However, it is essential to note here that these auctions are becoming popular across the U.S. Wealthy Americans are eagerly participating in the auction. In the end, the skeleton is for a massive amount of money. Call it an interest of the wealthy or obsession with species that roamed on the earth millions of years ago. Either way, it is gaining wide popularity.
A new story is now making headlines. People from all walks of life are obsessed with the news on all social media platforms. The news is that a skeleton of a Gorgosaurus was sold for $6 million at an auction in New York. The audience is shocked by the staggering amount that was paid for the archaic skeleton of the obsolete species. However, some people are equally amazed by the fossil of a species that lived on planet Earth more than 80 million years ago. According to archaeologists, there were no traces of human existence by the time when Gorgosaurus was living on the earth. Accompanied by the old dinosaurs, these Gorgosuarus had roamed the earth as the sole species having habit on the earth.

Is the Skeleton of Gorgosuarus Stronger Than T-rex?
Archeologists have analyzed the skeleton of Gorgosaurus and have concluded that it is more stubborn and strong than dinosaurs. In other words, archaeologists had examined the T-rex fossil - which was auctioned earlier - and have compared it to Gorgosaurus. Based on the comparison, at least to the archaeologists, it's apparent that Gorgosaurus was stronger than dinosaurs.

Nonetheless, some historians suspect that Gorgosaurus are by no means different species. Rather, they are of the same breed as dinosaurs. But unlike dinosaurs - the typical ones that we know today - Gorgosuarus are stronger. Archeologists argue that the body pattern of Gorgosaurus is slightly different from dinosaurs. Similarly, the number of bones in the body of Gorgosaurus is also more than ‘the usual dinosaurs.’
The auction was managed on Sunday, August 2020, where the large and stubborn skeleton was presented to the participants. As the bid started, it continued for hours. After 6 hours, the auction management rang the bell, and the skeleton was sold for $6 million.
