An exceptionally well-preserved 65 million year-old fossilized dinosaur nest with some broken eggs exposing tiny skeletons is up for auction in Los Angeles on Sunday.
The nest of raptors, fierce predatory dinosaurs, is expected to fetch between $180,000-$200,000.
The 22-egg nest, encased in sandstone and containing 10 complete embryos, originated in China. It had been in the hands of private collectors in Asia for the past 20 years before being sold to an American.
Tens of thousands of dollars have been spent on scientific preparation and studies to determine exactly which of the 6-8 known species of small raptor the nest belonged. That will be revealed in a 2007 academic paper now being prepared.
Wow.. they'll sell anything, eh? Apparently it's expected to be a hot item particularly because there's been a rise in interest in dinosaur-related items lately. Might be cool to read that paper.
