Would you buy a DINOSAUR FOSSIL?

[AviatorTom]

There's a nearly complete Stegosaurus fossil going up for sale. You can read about it here...

‘Virtually complete’ Stegosaurus fossil goes on sale - but not everyone is happy

If you had the money ($6 million estimate), would you consider buying it?

[strateguy632]

mainly i dont trust they assembled it accurately nor even the same animal nor even the aame species! i suspect

mixing different animals to the shape they guessed... that is neither science nor history.

even if they actually checked the dna and it was one species or found 90% whole... it is a waste of space. video it and bury the disassembled bones in a small coffin!

[DaBiggestBird]

If I was rich enough I would consider it. While we’re on the topic of dinosaurs, I have a Lego Quetzalcoatlus. Should I rebuild it into a different creature? I was thinking about turning it into stegosaurus or kentrosaurus.

I mainly want to change it because it’s too big. Almost the same size as the Sonorasaurus I made.

I tend to agree it's better off in a museum. Sadly the most of the rocks here predate the dinosaurs so my chance of finding one and becoming a millionaire are pretty slim.

A lot of dinosaurs fossils in museums are replicas so why can't moulds be taken of this one?

[SotiCoto]

Best bet is to check Lyme Regis or the Isle of Wight, I guess. Both sites have been strip-mined of fossils to the extreme... but there are still plenty of Ammonites in the former and fossil footprints in the latter. But you never know. I mean if people found plesiosaurs or iguanodons respectively in the past, there are probably still others there somewhere...

[purplepoppy]

Yeah, Dorset and the South Coast of England chucks the odd one up.

[Apple1996]

The thought of buying that has never ever crossed my mind. Maybe buying a museum with dinosaur fossils in it would be a bit more cool

[juliammm]

My mother-in-law came free with the boyfriend... So no need.

[AviatorTom]

@juliammm You may need to explain the connection for me... 🤔

[sage2021]

I don't think he would fit in my little (but nice🙂) studio apartment, otherwise sure I would buy him.

[OlderAndWiser]

I would not, but at one time, there was an acute care clinic here in Jacksonville that had a huge combination waiting room/dinosaur skeleton display.

[Fireguy17]

No, I would not be interested in that at all.
While they are pretty cool, I would not like to own one.

[avery58]

Nah, even if I had that kind of money where would I put it? The living room? 😂

[diversethought]

I can put it in the backyard with maybe some guard rails, swing, maybe a slide that goes into a pool. Generally next to the pool with a ladder and we can cannonball off it.

[KostasKouvalis]

No, 'cuz I know places where I can find them for free

[msc545]

No, not at all. It's not particularly attractive so it isn't a great conversation piece. And what's it good for?

[Staximus]

If I was wiping my ass with $100 bills and had a giant room to display it in, why not?

[Anonymous]

No, I like dinosaurs, but I wouldn't buy a fossil.

[Chazmatazz269]

I would really like a massive megaladon tooth!

[ApplePie409]

I'll take a pass on that.

[LiamS95]

No thanks, I'm rather have a Ferrari.

[PA19062024]

I once had a Cambrian trilobite, so I guess that answers this question :)

[exitseven]

no. I have enough old junk in my house

[NathanDavis]

I'd rather make one...

[shortster]

If it was affordable. Like $200 or less.

[RedInnocent69]

I have. And I’d do it again.

[Jmmmfi4]

NO. BELONGS IN A MUSEUM.

[Bklynbadboy12]

Nope! What would be the point in doing that

[Arik_jade]

Not really...

[beefcakebradybatson]

Wait. Isn't that Tom Brady in the shower?

[Kathy1111]

yes i would

[MatureMan40]

No...
