Selling for a staggering $5,550,000 USD, \u201cTrey\u201d the Triceratops skeleton has successfully established a brand-new record for a dinosaur fossil sold in an online-only auction format. Since its initial announcement in early March, the rare offering has captivated audiences and collectors around the globe.<\/p>\n<p>Dating back more than 66 million years to the Late Cretaceous period, the fossil is widely considered a cultural icon of prehistoric life and a cornerstone of scientific discovery. Studied and contextualized by leading paleontology expert Andre LuJan, the skeleton stands as an authentic, museum-exhibited piece of exceptional completeness and presentation for its era.\n<\/p>\n<p>For nearly 30 years, Trey was placed on continuous loan and public exhibition, where it was viewed by over one million visitors. Because the vast majority of dinosaur fossils of this caliber are permanently held in private collections or donated to scientific institutions, it is incredibly rare for a piece like this to ever re-enter the open market after its initial acquisition.\n<\/p>\n<p>To commemorate the historic, multi-million dollar auction, JOOPITER and Co-Museum teamed up with Los Angeles-based fashion brands 424 and Hoorsenbuhs.

historic event, JOOPITER and Co-Museum partnered with Los Angeles-based fashion labels 424 and Hoorsenbuhs on a limited-edition capsule collection<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>JOOPITER has officially closed the bidding on a massive piece of prehistoric history. Selling for a staggering $5,550,000 USD, \u201cTrey\u201d the Triceratops skeleton has successfully established a brand-new record for a dinosaur fossil sold in an online-only auction format. Since its initial announcement in early March, the rare offering has captivated audiences and collectors around the globe.<\/p>\n<p>Dating back more than 66 million years to the Late Cretaceous period, the fossil is widely considered a cultural icon of prehistoric life and a cornerstone of scientific discovery. Studied and contextualized by leading paleontology expert Andre LuJan, the skeleton stands as an authentic, museum-exhibited piece of exceptional completeness and presentation for its era.\n<\/p>\n<p>For nearly 30 years, Trey was placed on continuous loan and public exhibition, where it was viewed by over one million visitors. Because the vast majority of dinosaur fossils of this caliber are permanently held in private collections or donated to scientific institutions, it is incredibly rare for a piece like this to ever re-enter the open market after its initial acquisition.\n<\/p>\n<p>To commemorate the historic, multi-million dollar auction, JOOPITER and Co-Museum teamed up with Los Angeles-based fashion brands 424 and Hoorsenbuhs. Together, the entities have released a limited-edition, commemorative capsule collection celebrating the monumental sale. The collaborative capsule collection is currently available to purchase online via JOOPITER, 424, and Co-Museum.<\/p>\n<div class=\"show-article\">\n<p>                                                            Read Full Article<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<div class=\"related-stories-main-wrapper\">\n<h3>Related Stories<\/h3>\n<div class=\"stories-container\" data-layer-list-name=\"related_stories\" data-layer-list-offset=\"0\" data-layer-list-child-selector=\".story-item\">\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6698966\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Rare Claude Monet Landscapes From a Private Family Collection Surface at Sotheby\u2019s\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6699284\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Keith Haring\u2019s Rare Art Cars to Land in NYC&#8217;s West Village\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<div class=\"story-item\" data-layer-item-id=\"6699598\" data-layer-item-blog-id=\"1\" data-layer-item-type=\"post\"><span>&gt;<\/span>Dozie Kanu Pays Homage to the Architecture of Memory in &#8216;The Second Shadow&#8217;\n                                                                        <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-email-signup-wrapper impression-tracker\">\n<h3>We got you covered.
