The mounted stegosaurus was revealed from behind a billowing beige curtain... It is scheduled to go on view to the public on Sunday after it is fully prepared for exhibition.
This is a unique opportunity to have something that simultaneously, I think, really resonates in the public imagination about dinosaurs... is really a pretty special specimen to understand.
The Sotheby's sale of the unusually complete specimen... shattered records in the booming fossil market...The stegosaurus dethroned the Tyrannosaurus rex, the previous record-holder.
After purchasing the stegosaurus, Griffin... said he intended to lend the specimen to an American institution so it would be available to scientists and the public.
