More about the fallout from the sale of Stan the Tyrannosaurus rex for a record $31.8 million. The auction has happened so posting more info on the DML should be OK. I checked and I think none of these items links directly to an auction house or to an ongoing or pending commercial sale.

(I'm not a fan of the British tabloid the Daily Mail but this article fills in some other details and has photos. The Forbes magazine and Well Street Journal articles require a subscription, so this is a fall-back item.)
