In 1999, Brock Sisson was 16 years old and working at the Museum of Ancient Life in Utah. He was handed a box and warned not to drop it. Inside sat the upper jaw and nose horn of a young Ceratosaurus, a 150-million-year-old predatory dinosaur. In July, Sotheby’s will auction off that specimen, estimating its value at $4 million to $6 million. The sale arrives about a year after the Sotheby’s auction of “Apex” the stegosaurus, which sold to hedge fund billionaire Kenneth Griffin for $45 million.
