Скачать или смотреть T. rex STAN — One of the Biggest and Most Complete Skeletons Ever Found | Christie's

Watch how we installed STAN — one of the most complete T. rex skeletons ever found.

Unearthed in 1987, less than a century after the existence of Tyrannosaurus rex had first become known, STAN — named after his discoverer Stan Sacrison — represents one of the most complete fossil skeletons of the most famous dinosaur species ever to have lived.

Each individual fossil from STAN’s skeleton had to be prised carefully from the rock, then stored and recorded. Following more than 30,000 hours of labour, STAN was erected on a custom mount to reflect his former glory. He was given a public unveiling on Hill City’s Main Street in South Dakota, followed by his global ‘debut’ as the centrepiece of Japan’s T. rex World Exposition in 1995.

STAN will be offered on 6 October in the 20th Century Evening Sale at Christie’s in New York — ‘a once in a generation chance’, according to Hyslop. ‘There simply aren’t T. rexes like this coming to market. It’s an incredibly rare event when a great one is found.
