Nanotyrannus fossil sells for $47.3 million at New York auction

Nanotyrannus Sotheby’s dinosaur fossil paleontology auction record

A rare Nanotyrannus skeleton, nicknamed “Jodi,” sold for $47.3 million at a Sotheby’s auction in New York City on Tuesday. The sale price significantly exceeded the initial estimate of $6 million to $9 million following a 12-minute bidding war involving six participants. The buyer remains anonymous.

The specimen is one of only three substantial Nanotyrannus skeletons known to science. Recently confirmed by researchers as a distinct genus rather than a juvenile Tyrannosaurus rex, the Nanotyrannus coexisted with the T. rex approximately 67 million years ago. The skeleton is approximately 70% complete, consisting of 191 fossil bone elements and a well-preserved skull.

Discovered in 2019 by Montana rancher Jodi Pierson in the Hell Creek Formation, the fossil is the second-most expensive dinosaur skeleton ever sold at auction, trailing only the T. rex specimen “Gus,” which fetched $50.1 million earlier this summer. The high sale price has reignited scientific debate regarding the private trade of fossils and the importance of keeping such specimens in public institutions for research and education.
