An anonymous collector snapped up the vegetarian apatosaurus, which was dug up in the United States, for 4.7 million euros rising to 6 million including costs.
The buyer pledged to allow it to be displayed in a museum.
“We are happy that the buyer intends to lend it to an institution”, said Olivier Collin du Bocage.
