Massive Mars Meteorite to Be Auctioned in New York

A 54-pound Martian meteorite, believed to be the largest ever found on Earth, is set to be auctioned by Sotheby's in New York for an estimated $2-4 million, alongside a juvenile Ceratosaurus dinosaur skeleton. The meteorite, discovered in Niger in 2023, is a rare and significant find, representing nearly 7% of all Martian material on Earth, and was confirmed to originate from Mars through chemical analysis.
