PARIS (Reuters) - The skeleton of a Triceratops dinosaur that roamed the earth some 65 million years ago goes under the hammer in Paris on Wednesday as part of a collection of prehistoric bones and fossils, auctioneers Christie's said.
The 7.5 meter-long skeleton is the first specimen of similar quality to be sold at auction since a Tyrannosaurus Rex nicknamed Sue was sold in New York more than a decade ago in 1997, Christie's said.
It said the skeleton, with an estimated value of 500,000 euros ($790,800), had no name so far but the purchaser would be able to give it one.
