Natural History Museum to display £450,000 dinosaur fossil after London gallery helps secure buyer

London's Natural History Museum has unveiled a new dinosaur species skeleton, valued at £450,000, after the gallery David Aaron brokered a deal with an anonymous American art-collecting couple based in the UK to acquire and donate the fossil. The specimen, excavated in 2021-22 in Colorado and initially thought to be a Nanosaurus, was identified by the museum as a new species named Enigmacursor. It was shown at Frieze Masters in 2023 before the donation, which is permanent and now on long-term view.
