Fossilized skeletons of aerial and aquatic predators to be auctioned by Sotheby's

Sotheby's will auction the fossilized skeletons of a pteranodon and a plesiosaur, both dating back tens of millions of years.

The plesiosaur, nicknamed Nessie, has been compared to the Loch Ness monster due to its long neck, small head, and flippers.
