Largest Stegosaurus Skeleton Ever Found to Be Auctioned in New York

The nearly complete fossil, named Apex, could fetch up to $6 million, raising concerns among paleontologists.

Apex, discovered in 2022 in Colorado, stands 11 feet tall and measures 27 feet long.
The skeleton is 79-85% fossilized, making it one of the most complete specimens.
Paleontologists argue such finds should be preserved in public museums, not sold to private collectors.
Sotheby's has documented the entire discovery and restoration process to ensure authenticity.
The auction is part of Sotheby's 'Geek Week' series and will take place on July 17.
