New York museum unveils newest fossil find <br /><br />The American Museum of Natural History reveals the identity of its latest resident on Dec. 5, 2024 - 'Apex,' one of the most complete specimens of the spiny-backed dinosaur known as a stegosaurus ever discovered. To excited gasps from an audience of school children, the museum pulled back a beige curtain to reveal the 11-foot (3.4-m) tall, 20-foot (6-m) long skeleton. The Stegosaurus was a herbivorous dinosaur that walked on four legs and lived around 150 million years ago, during the Jurassic period. The fossil was found in Colorado and fetched a record $44.6 million at a Sotheby's auction in July. The buyer has loaned it out to the New York museum, popular with tourists and school children.<br /><br />REUTERS VIDEO<br /><br />Subscribe to The Manila Times Channel - https://tmt.ph/YTSubscribe <br /> <br />Visit our website at https://www.manilatimes.net <br /> <br />Follow us: <br />Facebook - https://tmt.ph/facebook <br />Instagram - https://tmt.ph/instagram <br />Twitter - https://tmt.ph/twitter <br />DailyMotion - https://tmt.ph/dailymotion <br /> <br />Subscribe to our Digital Edition - https://tmt.ph/digital <br /> <br />Check out our Podcasts: <br />Spotify - https://tmt.ph/spotify <br />Apple Podcasts - https://tmt.ph/applepodcasts <br />Amazon Music - https://tmt.ph/amazonmusic <br />Deezer: https://tmt.ph/deezer <br />Tune In: https://tmt.ph/tunein<br /> <br />#TheManilaTimes<br />#tmtnews<br />#apex <br />#stegosaurus <br />#fossil
