[Kreigh Tomaszewski]

*An almost complete dinosaur skeleton will be sold at auction in Paris next
month.*

The 150 million-year-old camptosaurus was discovered in the 1990s in the US
state of Wyoming.

It was named Barry after Barry James, the palaeontologist who found it.
Experts say the skeleton is "extremely well preserved".

It is expected to fetch up to €1.2m ($1.2m, £970,000) in an auction at
Hotel Drouot on 20 October.

Barry dates back to the late Jurassic period and measures 2.1m (6.9ft) tall
and 5m long.
