I say that, with the assumption that I had a really really big office.
But if anyone else wants a Stegosaurus skeleton in their office, there's one up for auction this week, on July 17th, actually.
Read all about it:
World’s largest stegosaurus skeleton to be auctioned for millionsA stegosaurus nicknamed Apex will be auctioned in New York. Its remains show signs of arthritis
Interested? If so, here's the information you need.
Description
Stegosaurus sp.
Late Jurassic (approx. 161-146 million years ago)
Morrison Formation, Moffatt County, Colorado, USA
"An outstanding exhibition-ready mounted skeleton, measuring approximately 11 feet tall and nearly 27 feet long from nose to tail, with a femur length of 45 inches. The specimen mounted has a footprint of approximately 20 feet 5 inches in length due to the curvature of the spine and elevated position of the tail. Virtually complete, with 254 fossil bone elements (of an approximate total of 319), with additional 3D printed and sculpted elements. Judging from the overall size and degree of the bone development it can be determined that the skeleton belonged to a large, robust adult individual, and evidence of arthritis, particularly notable in the fusion of the 4 sacral vertebrae, would indicate that it lived to an advanced age. The specimen shows no signs of combat related injuries, or evidence of post-mortem scavenging, and exhibits a number of interesting pathologies."
Estimates of what it might go for are 4-6 million USD.
Good luck.
