Dinosaur egg and meteorite among spoils of Irish Indiana Jones auction

A DINOSAUR tooth that’s 70-million-years-old, a 435-year-old meteorite and a Jurassic tree trunk are set to go under the hammer in the west of Ireland after a real-life Irish Indiana Jones decided to auction the spoils of his adventures.

The treasures are part of the astonishing collection of an anonymous Irish geologist which will be sold next Tuesday in Sixmilebridge in Co Clare.

The geologist, who has sold pieces to museums all over the world, has spent the last four decades digging for artifacts all over the planet.
