This fossil is a sight for saur eyes.
Sotheby's New York announced it will auction the skeleton of a Gorgosaurus, a cousin to the T-Rex, later this month, and it's estimated to sell for up to $8 million.
This member of the Tyrannosaurid family roamed the earth about 77 million years ago and was an apex carnivore that resided in the western part of the United States and Canada during the late Cretaceous Period. Because of its T-Rex genes, it has similar features, including an enormous head with dozens of sharp curved teeth and two small front limbs. However, it was faster than a T-Rex and had a stronger bite force, according to Sotheby's.
