167-million-year-old dinosaur skeleton purchased for the National Museum of Natural History in Paris
The only known skeleton of Dubreuillosaurus valesdunensis, found in Normandy in 1994, was due to be auctioned on 18 November. Thanks to an agreement reached after mobilisation by the French authorities, the fossil has been transferred to the national collections and will go on display at the Gallery of Palaeontology in Paris from summer 2027.
