I had no idea what a large portion of the Iranian plateau it represents! I looked up the specimen you referred to and found this story about it. Very cool!

Secondly, I heard there’s a fossil somewhere in Pakistan at a museum.

Haha! That’s crazy. I understand with the smaller animals but I can’t imagine there being a thriving market for full-sized dinosaur skeleton models.

I was just curious. Thanks as always Wayne.

If you don’t want to deal with the hassle of mounting a 30 foot fake skeleton in your home you can go to the Turpan Museum in Xinjiang, China to see their fossil. Also the American Museum of Natural History right here in NY has a fine skull.
