Sotheby's is hosting its annual Geek Week exhibition until July 15, showcasing unique artifacts like a juvenile Ceratosaurus fossil, the largest known Martian meteorite, and historic technology items. The Ceratosaurus fossil, measuring over 10 feet and dating back 150 million years, is expected to fetch between $3.5 million and $6 million. The Martian meteorite is estimated to sell for $2-4 million. Additional items include flown Apollo medallions, Buzz Aldrin's lunar checklist, and the rare 1949 BINAC computer manual along with the Apple-1 computer built by Jobs and Wozniak.
The star of the show this year is a juvenile Ceratosaurus fossil, one of only four ever found and the only juvenile of its kind.
On view is the largest known Martian meteorite on Earth-a 54-pound chunk launched into space by one of just 16 known asteroid impacts strong enough to fling debris off the Red Planet.
Other cosmic treasures include flown Apollo medallions, a lunar checklist carried by Buzz Aldrin and the only known copy of the 1949 BINAC computer manual.
The "Romkey" Apple-1 computer headlines the History of Science & Technology sale, hand-built by Jobs and Wozniak in 1976.
