Title:Dinosaur Skeleton Sells for Over $2 Million at Auction in Paris
A 150 million year-old skeleton of an unknown dinosaur species was sold for $2.3 million at an auction in Paris on Monday.
周一,在巴黎的一次拍卖会上以230万美元的价格出售了一具1.50亿年前的未知恐龙物种的骨骼。
An unnamed French collector outbid others — including interested parties from Japan and Sweden — and "wants [the skeleton] to be on display in a French museum," auctioneer Claude Aguttes told the Agence France-Presse.
一位未透露姓名的法国收藏家出演了另外一些人,包括来自日本和瑞典的有关人士,还有“希望(骨架)在法国博物馆展出,”拍卖师克劳德·阿格各茨告诉法新社说。
The 30 foot-long skeleton is thought to be a species that may be related to the Allosaurus fragilis, a carnivore from the late Jurassic era. However, it may be composed of skeletons from two different dinosaurs, according to Science.
据科学(Science)的数据,这30英尺长的骨骼被认为是一种可能与侏罗纪末期食肉动物Allous fragilis有关的物种,但它可能由两种不同恐龙的骨骼组成。
The skeleton, which is 70% intact, was found in Wyoming in 2013.
该骨架完好无损于70%,于2013年在怀俄明州发现。
Some in the scientific community, including those at the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology in Bethesda, MD, expressed concern to Science prior to the auction about selling the skeleton to a private individual. They warned that scientists may be unable to study it, and that placing monetary value on the skeleton may make it more difficult for paleontologists in the field.
科学界的一些人,包括位于贝思斯达的Vertebrate Paletology学会的成员,在拍卖之前对科学表示关注,说要将骨骼卖给私人个人。他们警告说,科学家可能无法研究它,而将金钱价值放在骨骼上,可能使田野中的古生物学者更难研究。
In response to Science, Eric Mickeler, from the European Chamber of Expert-Advisors in Fine Art, which oversaw the auction, cited instances of wealthy buyers lending skeletons to museums.
针对科学问题,负责监督拍卖的欧洲美术专家顾问会议Eric Mickeler举出为博物馆提供骨骼的富裕买家的例子。
