A Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton named Stan is on display during a press preview at Christie's Rockefeller Center on September 15, 2020, in New York City. The skeleton of the 40-foot dinosaur, one of the most complete Tyrannosaurus rex specimens ever found, will be auctioned in New York next month and could set a record for a sale of its kind. Discovered in 1987 near Buffalo, South Dakota, the 188-bone skeleton took more than three years to excavate and reconstruct by paleontologists from the state's Black Hills Geological Research Institute, where it has been exhibited since. #
