Tyrannosaurus rex most expensive dinosaur ever sold
Hatton says the price paid reflects the time and resources that went into uncovering the specimen.
The bones were excavated over three summers, when it was warm enough for the ground to have thawed, from 2021 to 2023.
But it took a further three years in the lab to piece the T. rex back together.
This work revealed the skull had bite marks, and previously broken ribs that had healed in its lifetime.
Both injuries were potentially sustained during scavenging or during a battle with other

Singapore court orders Bloomberg to pay $356,000 to ministers in defamation case
Days after the article was published in December 2024, the ministers announced that they would take legal action.
During the trial in April, the minister and their lawyers argued that the mention of the ministers in the article unfairly associated their property deals with those covered in the rest of the article, which included concerns about transparency and money laundering.
Shanmugam also argued that the Bloomberg article was written to target him and publish news about the sale of his property.
Bloomberg and Low argued that the story did not imply
Yemen's Houthis launch missiles at Saudi Arabia after strikes on Sanaa airport
Yemen's Houthis said they launched missiles at Abha airport in south-western Saudi Arabia on Monday in response to air strikes on Sanaa's airport that they blamed on the kingdom.
The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen, which backs the country's internationally-recognised government, said its air defences "dealt with" the missiles and no casualties were reported.

EU bans gold imports from Sudan to curb money financing the war
According to UN experts and other analysts, more than half - and by some estimates as much as 70% - of Sudan's gold is smuggled out of the country each year.
The RSF controls most goldfields in Darfur and Kordofan - in the western and central areas of the country, while the Sudanese army oversees production in northern and eastern regions.
The gold is often trafficked through neighbouring countries, including Egypt, Chad and Libya, before reaching Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), a major global

How US commerce secretary's Epstein links were uncovered by British whistleblower
Four years earlier in Florida, Epstein had been sent to prison for two charges of soliciting prostitution - including one with a minor.
Andriesz suspected there was yet more to find in the Epstein files that could back up his claims - if only people knew where to look in the 3.5 million pages of documents.
"Everyone was searching 'Lutnick'," he says. He knew, though, that Cantor Fitzgerald executives preferred to use initials rather than full names in their emails.
Andriesz searched for "HWL"
Death toll from Bangkok bar fire rises to 30 as police probe safety lapses
As of Tuesday morning, 27 of the deceased victims have been identified, authorities said. More than 70 people are injured, 24 of them critically.
Preliminary investigations suggest the blaze was caused by a short circuit in an air conditioner, which quickly cut power throughout the bar.
But several people who had visited the bar earlier have described it as a dark room even in its original state. Phatsara Khamloet, who visited in May, told BBC Thai she had to navigate a "winding route" to reach
