Largest piece of Mars on Earth fetches $5.3 million at auction

At a Sotheby’s auction in New York, the largest Martian meteorite ever found on Earth sold for $5.3 million, setting a record as the most valuable meteorite ever auctioned.

The 54-pound rock, discovered in Niger in 2023, traveled from Mars after an asteroid impact.

However, a rare juvenile Ceratosaurus dinosaur skeleton stole the spotlight, selling for $30 million after a six-minute bidding war, far surpassing its $4–6 million estimate, the Associated Press has reported.
