This isn't the first I've heard of the Acro cast being available-this ad
came through alt.dinosaur a couple of weeks ago
I am posting is as FYI and have no connections with the person selling
the cast.  
(I hope that means it's ok, it IS a cast after all Mickey?)

I am seeking a contact to someone who might know if Fox Studio's might
be interested in purchasing a casting of the dinosaur named
Acrocanthosaurus. The casting was made from the original and one of a
kind complete skeleton of the animal. It looks and feels so real it will
scare you. Serious offer of a firm $175,000 is needed to help the man
who spent four years diging the thing up. His family is stricken by
cancer, and the USA government took the original and placed it in the
Smitsonian Institution.
Please email me at billval@stargate.1starnet.com
or (903)982-6149, (903)982-5854

Regards,
Bill Valentine
