Two dinosaur skeletons go under the hammer in Paris Two dinosaur skeletons, a 12-meter long diplodocus and a 3.8-meter long allosaurus, fetch more than 1.4 million euros each during an auction in Paris. The pair were marketed as hip interior design objects with the allosaurus expected to fetch up to 650,000 euros, while the diplodocus -- despite being bigger -- had a guide price of 450,000 to 500,000 euros.
