Ageing rather well

A handler organises a juvenile Ceratosaurus nasicornis skeleton during the press preview yesterday of Sotheby’s Natural History auction in New York City.

The carnivorous dinosaur lived about 150 million years ago and was found in Wyoming in 1996.

Sotheby’s listed a guide price of $US4 million-$US6 million ($NZ6.7m-$NZ10m) for the skeleton which is about 1.9m tall and 3.3m long.

It one of only four Ceratosaurus known in the world, and the only juvenile.

The auction is next week.
