Maynards Auction Dinosaur and Fossil Collection

Published January 11th, 2009


A collection of dinosaurs and fossils, including a 70-million-year-old Edmontosaurus measuring 7.6 metres, have been auctioned by Maynards in Vancouver.

The Edmontosaurus was estimated to fetch about $500,000, but sold for $150,000.

The dinosaurs and other objects were collected by a Japanese department store chain and exhibited for 20 years in a private museum near Tokyo, said Maynards project manager Jonathan Scott.
