Imagine having this dino on display at your home
Trey the three-horned Triceratops fossil is more than 66 million years old.
It was first found in Wyoming in the United States over 30 years ago, at a site where T.rex dinosaur bones have also been discovered.
Since then, the 17-foot-long plant-eater has been on display at the Wyoming Dinosaur Centre, but it's been decided that Trey now needs a new home.
So on 17 March, Trey is going on sale in Singapore.
In recent years, dinosaurs have sold for much more, having been being bought by private collectors.
Some experts are worried about this, warning that it means museums might not be able to afford them.
What is a triceratops?

An artist's illustration of what a triceratops might have looked like
Triceratops was a dinosaur species that's famous for its long horns and large frilled neck.
It was a herbivore, which means an animal that eats plants rather than other animals, and it used its hundreds of teeth to chop through different types of plant.
Unlike the speedy Tyrannosaurus Rex, the Triceratops was slower moving, but that doesn't mean it didn't get about.
Scientists recently discovered that the Triceratops lived in Europe not just in Asia and North America, as was thought.
