Bonhams auction house in New York is held a unique auction on Thursday. On the block? Authentic dinosaur fossils and other artifacts from the ice age.
Among the things sold were skeletons, teeth, skulls, plants, and petrified trees. Most of the items were expected to go to museums, but private collectors also attended the auction.

Up for grabs are a Woolly Rhinoceros skeleton, a Tyrannosaurus Rex tooth -- and a stegodon skull. But don't be tempted to go for the impulse buy -- these items don't come cheap, with experts warning a buyer could expect to pay anything up to and even over $200,000.
