The U.S. is seeking to return a Tyrannosaurus bataar to Mongolia after officials there said the dinosaur bones were smuggled into the U.S.
The skeleton, which spans 24 feet in length and is eight feet tall, had been shipped to the U.S. from the U.K. via Florida and then to Texas before arriving in New York in 2010. It was auctioned by Texas-based Heritage Auctions Inc. in New York in May for more than $1 million.
