The 26-foot-long dinosaur made history when it was first discovered in South Dakota in 2014. And it made history again in 2021 when it fetched a record $7.7 million at an auction in Paris, the most ever paid for ancient bones that weren’t a T. rex. The winning bid came from Tampa entrepreneur Sidd Pagidipati, chairperson of Ayon Capitol and Better Health Group. He is lending Big John to the museum for the next three years. • The auction made international news because of the stunning sight of the triceratops once it had been excavated from the rock and because missing parts were filled in with 3D printing. The 10-foot-tall dino the size of a moving van is one of the most complete sets of fossil remains ever unearthed, roughly 60% whole. • ------------------ • For More News and Videos • SUBSCRIBE and Turn Notifications On • https://bit.ly/2r0BEND • Get a Digital Subscription to the Tampa Bay Times • https://bit.ly/2Xinunj • Follow us: • Facebook ► / tampabaycom • Twitter ► / tb_times • Instagram ► / tampabaytimes
