The specimen had been due to be offered by the auction house Millon at the H\u00f4tel Drouot in Paris on 18 November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The announcement was made jointly by Catherine P\u00e9gard, Minister of Culture, and Philippe Baptiste, Minister of Higher Education, Research and Space. According to their press release, the skeleton is a holotype \u2014 the reference specimen against which researchers worldwide identify a species \u2014 and, after comparison with other carnivorous dinosaur remains from the Jurassic, the only known representative of its species. The ministry says the planned public sale had mobilised palaeontologists concerned about researchers\u2019 continued access to the fossil; the agreement is intended to keep it permanently in France and accessible to scientists and the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/honargardi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/11\/dubreuillosaurus-reconstruction-nobu-tamura-cc-by.jpg\" alt=\"Life reconstruction of Dubreuillosaurus valesdunensis\" class=\"wp-image-2035\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Life reconstruction of Dubreuillosaurus valesdunensis \u2014 an artist\u2019s interpretation, not a photograph of the specimen.

Several excavation campaigns were then carried out by teams from the Centre de recherche en pal\u00e9ontologie, which is overseen by the MNHN, the CNRS and Sorbonne Universit\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Studied for several years by MNHN palaeontologists, the animal \u2014 a theropod and close relative of the megalosaurs \u2014 was described as a new species and named in honour of its discoverer. The ministry\u2019s release states that its skull is one of the most complete and best preserved of any theropod dinosaur in Europe, and that before its discovery almost nothing was known of the cranial and post-cranial anatomy of megalosaurs. It also describes the specimen as one of the last surviving witnesses of Normandy\u2019s dinosaurs, the other specimens found in the region having been destroyed in the bombings of 1944.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"615\" height=\"370\" src=\"https:\/\/honargardi.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/11\/dubreuillosaurus-skull-drawing-conty-pd.jpg\" alt=\"Schematic drawing of the skull of Dubreuillosaurus\" class=\"wp-image-2034\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Schematic drawing of the skull of Dubreuillosaurus.

After the owner\u2019s death, his heirs decided to sell it, and Millon announced its sale at Drouot. The regional outlet Tendance Ouest, reporting on 9 November, likewise stated that the specimen would enter the national collections and that its auction had been called off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How the purchase was arranged<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The negotiation was led by the Service des mus\u00e9es de France, part of the ministry\u2019s Direction g\u00e9n\u00e9rale des patrimoines et de l\u2019architecture, with support from the MNHN. It was financed by an exceptional grant from the Ministry of Culture\u2019s Fonds du patrimoine and by financial support from the Direction g\u00e9n\u00e9rale de la recherche et de l\u2019innovation of the research ministry. The agreement was reached with the auction house acting on behalf of the owners; the ministers thanked Millon for helping to make it possible. The press release does not disclose the price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What happens next<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ministry says study of the specimen will continue, notably through CT-scan analyses of bone fibres and musculature, with a view to a new biomechanical mounting. The skeleton will join the collections of the Jardin des Plantes in the Galerie de Pal\u00e9ontologie et d\u2019Anatomie compar\u00e9e. The acquisition comes as the MNHN marks its 400th anniversary this year. No date for its public presentation in Paris has been announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Practical information:<\/strong> future home \u2014 Galerie de Pal\u00e9ontologie et d\u2019Anatomie compar\u00e9e, Jardin des Plantes, Mus\u00e9um national d\u2019histoire naturelle, Paris.
