Million-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton dubbed "Samson" is displayed at the Venetian Resort Hotel Casino September 30, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The 40-foot-long female dinosaur fossil, excavated in South Dakota in 1992, contains about 170 bones and is said to be the third most complete T. Rex skeleton ever unearthed. The skull currently mounted on the display is a cast replica of the 450-pound original, seen at left. Thomas Lindgren, co-consulting department director of Natural History at auctioneers Bonhams & Butterfields, said the original is being displayed separately for safety reasons and as it is one of the most intact in existence makes it completely available for scientific research. Bonhams & Butterfields is hoping Samson will fetch more than USD 6 million when it is auctioned off as the centerpiece of a lot of 50 fossils on October 3 at the Venetian as part of their Natural History auction.
