H ow does a fragile, six-foot predator from 150 million years ago make it to a Sotheby’s gallery in New York—nearly untouched by science? Meet The Juvenile Ceratosaurus, one of only four known to exist, and the only juvenile to have ever been found.
A s the headliner of this year's Geek Week, follow Sotheby’s Global Head of the Science & Popular Culture, Cassandra Hatton, as she takes you behind the scenes of the dinosaur that paleontologists are calling a “scientific unicorn.” Excavated in Wyoming and now suspended in a custom-forged frame, each bone of the Ceratosaurus reflects a rare fusion of preservation, craftsmanship, and scientific potential.
One-of-a-kind fossils. Original metalwork. And a prehistoric mystery that’s just beginning to unfold.
This extraordinary Juvenile Ceratosaurus will be on free public view in the Sotheby’s New York galleries from 8–15 July, before being offered live in Natural History, Including the Juvenile Ceratosaurus, and the Largest Piece of Mars on Earth on 16 July at 10:00 AM EST.
