The Cost of a Stan Skeleton

A Stan full mounted cast sells for $120,000 and then that's plus whatever shipping and creating that wouldn't have to go in that. Larson says he has sold around a hundred casts to museums all over the world. More than 60% of all known T-Rex fossils have been found by commercial fossil hunters. It took only 33 years for the commercial folks to collect more T-Rexes than public trust collected in 130 years.
