T. rex display heats up debate over auctions of dinosaur skeletons: "Harmful to science"

Dinosaur fans got a glimpse of a Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton as it went on display in Singapore Friday before an auction next month, as experts slammed the big-money bone trade as "harmful to science."

Reuters reported that the display drew thousands of visitors, many of whom took selfies with it.

The one-and-a-half ton frame, composed of about 80 bones, will be the first T. rex skeleton auctioned in Asia, according to Christie's, which hasn't given an estimate for the lot.
