A 150 million-year-old dinosaur skeleton will go up for auction in Paris next month.
With an estimated sales price of 400,000 to 500,000 euros , the fossil dates back to the Upper Jurassic period and is called Zephyr -- from the Greek word"Zephyros," or"west wind" -- as a nod to where it came from.
"Luckily enough, a team of commercial paleontologists -- people whose business is investing time, money and energy in digging fossil remains -- have been able to recover the remains" that were later purchased by Flavio Bacchia, the founder of Zoic, Briano said. Zoic, based in Trieste, Italy, provides tools and technology for the discovery and preparation of ancient life forms and paleontological specimens.
