Nice centrepiece for a hallway

Shen, used condition.

Just my two cents but I think that this belongs in a museum for as many people as possible to admire.

Can't say I agree with their claim that the 'T-Rex is the Greatest of all Dinosaurs', but that discussion deserves a thread unto itself.

I'd consider it but it looks like it would be a bitch to dust.

I guess you could drag it outside and spray it off.

Agree it belongs in a museum.

Won't fit in my house, I'll pass.

Would make a cool lawn ornament.

Wow. Just amazing. I’d love to have this. But realistically I’m looking at giving most of my finds away to museums in the area so they can be seen and enjoyed by the masses. I believe “Shen” should be in a museum as well. Hopefully it’s bought by a museum or a very wealthy benefactor looking for a tax write off.

I hope this eventually winds up in a museum.

Many people say T-Rex marrow soup is guaranteed to increase testosterone and virility. Nick Cannon is a daily user.

Hopefully, some goodwill needing billionaire will buy it and donate to a museum. Looking at you, Elon.

Considering that it's 60 million years old, I think it would be quite fair for me to buy it, enjoy it for however many years I have left, let's say 30 as an optimistic estimate, and then bequeath it to a museum. If they've waited 60M years, they could wait another few.

Unfortunately, I'm temporarily a bit skint.

Personally I like new stuff and rarely go vintage.

I saw this and if I was a billionaire I’d be tempted. I’m not. Boo birds.

You’d be just fine with it. Dogs like only the intercostal clavicle bone of a brontosaurus.
