The stegosaurus fossil, named 'Apex,' is the most complete ever discovered, boasting 80% of its bones preserved, offering valuable research opportunities in paleontology.
Ken Griffin, the philanthropist behind the $45 million purchase of Apex, has allowed scientists at the American Museum of Natural History to conduct analyses on this remarkable specimen.
The arrival of Apex at the American Museum of Natural History signifies not only a significant financial investment in paleontology but also a commitment to ongoing scientific research.
Sean Decatur, president of the American Museum of Natural History, emphasized the importance of Apex in enhancing scientific understanding of stegosaurus metabolism and bone growth.
