00:00Prices at Sotheby's Geek Week auction in New York were out of this world on Wednesday,
00:05with a meteorite from Mars selling for more than $5 million.
00:10The largest piece of the red planet ever found on Earth was part of a sale of rare geological
00:16and archaeological objects.
00:18But the star of the show was a juvenile dinosaur skeleton that went for more than $30 million,
00:25far beyond its original estimate of $4 million to $6 million.
00:29Specialists assembled nearly 140 fossil bones to recreate the skeleton, which is more than
00:362 metres tall and 3 metres long.
00:39Cetrasaurus dinosaurs were bipeds with short arms that appear similar to the Tyrannosaurus
00:44rex.
00:45This one is thought to be from the late Jurassic period, about 150 million years ago.
