00:00If you have a few million dollars to spare, this baby Cetrasaurus could be yours.
00:06It's going under the hammer on Wednesday at Sotheby's in New York, alongside a chunk of the planet Mars.
00:13Found in the United States, the young dinosaurs' 140 fossilized bones have been carefully reassembled.
00:20This is one of only four Cetrasaurus in the world.
00:23The three other examples are in museums.
00:26This is not only the only one that is available for purchase, but it's the only juvenile specimen.
00:34Also for sale, a 25 kilogram rock blown off the surface of Mars.
00:39It traveled more than 200 million kilometers before crashing into the Sahara deserts.
00:45This Martian meteorite is the largest piece of Mars we have ever found by a long shot.
00:50So it's more than double the size of what we previously thought was the largest piece of Mars.
00:55Now, we've only taken a small piece of it to study to confirm that it was Martian, but there's all sorts of interesting data that can be found inside of this rock.
01:05Of the 77,000 officially recognized meteorites found on Earth, only 400 are from the Red Planet.
01:13It's sale price is expected to reach between two to four million dollars.
01:20Yeah!
01:21That is where they were meeting next to what happens.
01:23I don't know, we've never had that question.
01:24There were stories of the outside.
01:25I don't know, there's a lot of stuff.
01:26That's cool.
01:27That's cool.
01:28I think there's plenty of results in this video.
01:29That's cool.
01:30I'm not sure, you're about to have a dissimacy.
01:32Yeah, you're about to have a dissimacy.
01:33Right?
01:34I'm not sure.
01:35I think there's a lot of stuff here.
01:37I'm not sure, you're about to have a dissimacy.
