Largest Stegosaurus Skeleton Ever Found to Be Auctioned for Up to $6 Million

Discovered in Colorado, the nearly complete fossil named 'Apex' raises debate over private fossil sales and scientific access.

Jason Cooper discovered the stegosaurus fossil, named 'Apex,' on his property in May 2022.
The skeleton is 11 feet tall, over 20 feet long, and about 70% complete.
Apex will be auctioned at Sotheby's in July, estimated to fetch $4-6 million.
Paleontologists argue such significant finds should be preserved in museums for public education and research.
Sotheby's has documented the entire process from discovery to sale, ensuring transparency.
