This fossil is valued at millions of dollars and brings some dinosaur experts dread.

With the looming ceratosaur sale, paleontologists of both the academic and commercial varieties are expressing concern that another multimillion-dollar auction will distort the fossil marketplace. Driving more speculation, they worry, could further spike the already rising prices of fossil digs and lead to the duping of investors.

Update: Man eats banana! On Friday, crypto investor Justin Sun took two bites from his $6.2 million banana at a press conference in Hong Kong on Friday. “Eating it at a press conference can also become a part of the artwork's history,” he said, likening the conceptual work to NFTs and blockchain-based art. “Most of its objects and ideas exist as intellectual property and on the internet, as opposed to something physical.”

The banana had been purchased for $0.35 from Shah Alam, a 74-year-old Bangladeshi immigrant who works at a stall outside Sotheby's, New York. Sun pledged via X to buy 100,000 bananas from the stall, believing Alam to be the owner, which he is not — he is a shift worker and makes $12 an hour. Here's more from The Art Newspaper [story may be paywalled].

The Art Newspaper - International art news and events · Crypto investor eats Cattelan banana he bought for $6.2m Par Kabir Jhala

A banana duct-taped to a wall has fetched $6.3m at an auction in New York — four times higher than pre-sale estimates, @BBCNews says. Chinese cryptocurrency entrepreneur Justin Sun outbid six rivals to get the "Comedian" installation by Italian visual artist Maurizio Cattelan. Sun says he will eat the banana — which was bought earlier in the day for $0.35 — as part of the artistic experience. The installation comes with helpful instructions on how to replace the fruit when it rots. "Comedian" was first unveiled to the public in 2019, fueling heated debates about what art is. What do you think?
