Paris auction house Aguttes has sold a mysterious nearly-complete dinosaur skeleton for more than $2.3 million, Reuters has reported. Aguttes called the specimen a “new species,” but some scientists have questioned this claim.

The sale of the 30-foot theropod has sparked an outcry among some paleontologists, who argue the well-preserved specimen—new species or not—may now be “lost to science.”
