New York: An auction is scheduled to be held in New York City, USA on Wednesday, in which the price of a stone has been kept at 20 lakh to 40 million dollars i.e. 34 crore rupees. The question in the minds of many people is that what is special in this stone that its price is so high? It is the largest stone of Mars on Earth, which weighs 54 pounds (25 kg).

According to experts associated with auction, this feature makes this stone different from the rest. New York -based auction house ‘Sothabi’ on Wednesday will introduce an item called ‘NWA 16788’ as a part of a auction based on natural history. Along with this, the skeleton of a teen ‘Seratosorus’ dinosaur will also be placed in the auction, which is more than six feet and the length is about 11 feet.

How did a piece of Mars come to Earth?

The auction house reported that the meteorite is believed to fly from the surface of Mars to about 14 million miles due to collision with a huge asteroid, where the Sahara fell in the desert. Sothabi said that this piece of Mars was found in Niger in November 2023.

Sothabi reported that this piece of red, brown and gray colored is about 70 percent larger than the largest piece of Mars found on Earth and makes about seven percent of all the materials to Mars. “This is the biggest piece of Mars so far, which is also double the size of the first largest piece of Mars,” said in an interview. This discovery is considered very rare and important. It has been investigated in a particular laboratory.

There will also be a skeleton of dinosaurs in auction

Apart from this piece of Mars, the skeleton of teenage seratosorus nasikornis dinosaurs will also be kept in auction. Which was discovered in 1996 near Bone Cabin Quarry near Larami, Vyoming. When it was discovered, it was scattered in several pieces, which was later added by scientists. It is believed that it can be sold for 4 million to 60 million dollars.
