Nearly 300 T. rex bones dug up from three US sites were assembled into a single skeleton dubbed "Trinity."
The skeleton was auctioned off in Switzerland, selling for more than $5 million.
The buyer, a Belgian art non-profit, plans to exhibit the skeleton in Europe's oldest skyscraper.

BERLIN (AP) — A Swiss auction house that sold a composite Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton for over $5 million this week said Friday that the new owner, a Belgian art foundation, will exhibit the fearsome dinosaur at a new cultural center in Antwerp.
