A Sotheby's handler inspects Apex a week before the skeleton went under the hammer. EPA

A 150-million-year-old skeleton of a Stegosaurus, called Apex by the palaeontologist who discovered it, is on display at Sotheby’s in New York, where it sold for a record $44.6 million at auction on July 17. AFP

Apex was found near the town of Dinosaur, in Moffat County, Colorado. The Stegosaurus, despite its frightening looks, was a herbivore. AP

Apex is about 3.5 metres tall, 8.2 metres long and 1.8 metres wide. Its sales price was well above the estimate of between $4 million and $6 million. AP

'I don't know of another Stegosaurus that matches the size and quality of this one,' said Cassandra Hatton, Sotheby's senior vice president. AFP
