A large and “super rare” piece of Mars crashed into the desert and sold at nearly $ 2 million at auction.
Suteby in New York sells a 55 -pound rock called the NWA 16788 for $ 1.6 million, which he says is the largest piece of Mars on Earth.
According to the Auction House, Mars has traveled 140 million miles to red.
“The stone is about 70 percent larger than the largest piece of Mars found on Earth, showing almost 7 % of the total Mars material currently on the planet,” Sutbi said.
“This meteorite is the largest piece of Mars that we have ever found with a long shot,” said Cassandra Hutton, Vice President of Science and Natural History in Sutby. wealthHuman
Hutton said the stone was sent to the specialized laboratory for testing, which appears to be “Elivine-Microgaboic”, a type of rock that consists of slow magma cooling.
It is also a rare finding. Only 400 Mars’ meteorite out of more than 77,000 formal meteors have been officially found on Earth.
He also has a glass surface that probably has because of the great heat he experienced when falling into the atmosphere. “So it was their first clue that this was not just a big stone on earth,” he said.
Sutbi said it is not clear exactly that the meteor hit the ground, but the experiment shows that it may have happened in recent years.
The meteor was formerly at the exhibition at the Italian Space Agency in Rome. Sutby did not disclose the owner.
Meanwhile, a 11 -foot dinosaur has been listed this week for sale at the auction house and is estimated to sell between $ 4 and $ 6 million.
The Ceratosaurus nasicornis teenage skeleton was found in 1996 near Larami, Wyoming, in the bone cab.
According to Sotabi, it is believed that it was almost 65 million years ago since the late Cretaceous period. Rises up for sale on Wednesday.
Ceratosaurus dinosaurs with short arms that resembled Tyrannosaurus Rex, but smaller.
