Dinosaur ‘Judy’ Offered for $9 Million After Scientific Reclassification

A dinosaur skeleton known as “Judy” is being offered for $9 million after a scientific reclassification lowered its price.

The huge skeleton drew attention at Frieze London in 2023, when it was presented under the name “Chomper” and identified as a young Tyrannosaurus rex.

Its subsequent reclassification changed that identification, with the revised assessment accompanied by a drop in its asking price. The new scientific designation and the earlier price were not specified in the available details.

Now offered as Judy, the fossil illustrates how changing scientific interpretations can affect the commercial value of prehistoric specimens.
