An incredibly rare complete skeleton of a fearsome dinosaur known as a Gorgosaurus is set to be sold at auction later this month. The 76 million-year-old specimen, which stands approximately 10 feet tall and measures 22 feet in length, was reportedly unearthed from a fossil site in Montana back in 2018. An ancestor of the legendary Tyrannosaurus rex, the Gorgosaurus roamed the planet around 10 million years prior to its iconic relative and bears a striking resemblance to the famed dinosaur in both its skeletal structure as well as its status as an 'apex carnivore' of its era.
