- The 67-million-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex fossil called Gus was sold for $50.1 million at Sotheby’s in New York, setting a new auction record.
- Gus measures about 3.8 meters tall and 11.5 meters long, featuring an exceptionally preserved skull and rare bones like a furcula.
- Discovered in South Dakota in 2021, the excavation and restoration took around five years, honoring the late landowner Gary Licking.
- Scientists urge that Gus be placed in a public institution to enable ongoing research and educational opportunities, following previous notable fossil displays.
Our hope is that the new owner recognizes the extraordinary scientific and educational value of Gus the T. rex and that they aim to keep it in the public trust by immediately donating it to an accredited natural history museum. That outcome would ensure that this remarkable specimen continues to advance science, rather than becoming unavailable for study.— Kristi Curry Rogers, the society’s president-elect, said in a statement Tuesday.

Our priority remains identifying those responsible and ensuring that all available evidence is thoroughly examined.— Assistant Chief Constable Matt Longman said this regarding the investigation into the death of Ann Widdecombe.

- Hansons Auctioneers in Etwall, Derbyshire, identifies the shadowless first-edition base-set Charizard card as the centrepiece of the series’ 30th-anniversary auction.
- The auction house expects the collectible to achieve a price within the £30,000 to £40,000 range.
- David Wilson-Turner said 11-card Pokémon packs cost £1.50 to £2 in 1999, and finding a Charizard was akin to a small lottery win because of its rarity.
- According to Wilson-Turner, between 4,000 and 10,000 examples were produced, while this card has a condition grade of 9 out of 10 and is considered mint.
A Charizard was the rarest holographic in base set, so pulling one from a pack was like winning a mini-lottery.— David Wilson-Turner, head of the toy department at Hansons Auctioneers, said: 'A Charizard was the rarest holographic in base set, so pulling one from a pack was like winning a mini-lottery.'

- The piece was part of the 'Exquisite Corpus' auction, which included over 80 surrealist works by artists like René Magritte and Salvador Dalí.
