[Post 979]Inside The Multi-Million Dollar Global Dinosaur Fossil Market | Bones Of Contention - Part 1/2

Summary

With rare access inside Sotheby’s New York, we see a 155-million-year-old Stegosaurus fossil, The Apex, sold for an astonishing US$40 million. It’s the most expensive dinosaur fossil ever auctioned. The sale marks a turning point in a market where demand is exploding.

From glittering auction houses to private apartments in Asia, the film peels back the curtain on a world few ever see: fossil hunters risking everything, dealers moving prized specimens across borders, collectors with their prehistoric trophies, and scientists fighting to protect irreplaceable clues to Earth’s past. This is the hidden, high-stakes battle over dinosaurs - caught between commerce, obsession and science.
