00:00A 25-kilogram rock is being auctioned for a price ranging between $2 and $4 million.
00:07It's so exorbitantly priced because it's the largest piece of Mars ever found on planet Earth.
00:14It's more than double the size of what we previously thought was the largest piece of Mars.
00:20Now we've only taken a small piece of it to study to confirm that it was Martian,
00:24but there's all sorts of interesting data that can be found inside of this rock.
00:30It'll be auctioned off at Sotheby's in New York on Wednesday as part of a natural history-themed sale
00:35that also includes a juvenile dinosaur skeleton.
00:39The skeleton is large, standing at 2 meters in height and 3 meters in length.
00:43It's also incredibly rare.
00:48Juvenile specimens are really, really important.
00:51They're really rare for two reasons.
00:54They were very appetizing to adult dinosaurs.
00:57You know, nice, tender, young dinosaurs.
01:01Much better than an old, you know, stiff dinosaur.
01:06But also their bones were really fine and were much less likely to survive the 154 million year fossilization process.
01:17So we almost never find juvenile dinosaurs.
01:21The fossil is going anywhere from $4 to $6 million.
