... $990,000 in Paris. In the 1990s, Barry was located in Wyoming. Barry James, the originator, inspired the name. The Camptosaurus is a kind of herbivorous dinosaur that roamed Europe and North America between 160 million and 100 million years ago during the late Jurassic period. The skeleton of Barry is 2.1 meters tall and 5 meters long. On October 20, it was sold at auction to an American, whose identity remained a secret. Would you invest your $1 million in this?

Given his willingness to spend a large sum of money on this skeleton, the buyer must have been an enthusiast. However, I believe the motivation was to return those bones to the American location where they were discovered.

You have a point. I also think that the museum did not sell it. I felt bad because people will not see such a fossil anymore.
