Is it stamped ,”Made In Mars” ? LOL

I wouldn’t mind having a dinosaur skeleton, but I don’t know where I’d keep it. I doubt my wife would let me display it in the living room.

Maybe Elon can buy it just to stand on it and claim to be the first man on Mars.

[Blood of Tyrants]

There is absolutely no way to determine where it came from.

That is a piece of nature’s sculpture that I would want in my mansion.

I want to impress my friends with what I own. So…

Buy a 54-pound rock from Mars for $4 million.
or,
Find a 54-pound rock, and say it came from Mars.

I’d normally go with the first option. But none of my friends are geologists or astrophysicists. So the second option it is.

😀

Musk for the win.

it says “Kilroy was here” on its backside

[MtnClimber]

What if it is just rubble from a construction site in New Jersey?

Utah is for sale?

Utah is for sale?

I would rather have a piece of Venus....(knowing smile)

[itsahoot]

Shucks I got a couple of those I would sell for 20 bucks.

Since 67%* of New Yorkers are economically illiterate NYC is a good place to auction something with no intrinsic value and dubious provenance.

*67% is the fraction that vote Democrat. You have to be economically illiterate to vote Democrat Thus my estimation of economic illiteracy in NYC.

Pick up or delivery?

[US_MilitaryRules]

How would it be from Mars? Did it just jump off the planet?

[simpson96]

I can see an enterprising person or group paying $20 mil for it.

At 54 pounds, even breaking it up into 10,000 pieces, they’d be small but still “decent sized” pieces.

Sell each one - an actual piece of Mars - for $2,500.

That’s $25 mil.

Dang, a two-fer!

[snip] The juvenile Ceratosaurus nasicornis skeleton was found in 1996 near Laramie, Wyoming, at Bone Cabin Quarry, a gold mine for dinosaur bones. Specialists assembled nearly 140 fossil bones with some sculpted materials to recreate the skeleton and mounted it so it's ready to exhibit, Sotheby's says.

The skeleton is believed to be from the late Jurassic period, about 150 million years ago, Sotheby's says. It's auction estimate is $4 million to $6 million.

Ceratosaurus dinosaurs were bipeds with short arms that appear similar to the Tyrannosaurus rex, but smaller. Ceratosaurus dinosaurs could grow up to 25 feet (7.6 meters) long, while the Tyrannosaurs rex could be 40 feet (12 meters) long.

The skeleton was acquired last year by Fossilogic, a Utah-based fossil preparation and mounting company. [/snip]
