Sotheby's unveils the only known juvenile skeleton of a carnivorous dinosaur, the Ceratosaurus

A rare juvenile Ceratosaurus skeleton — the first and only young example of the Late Jurassic carnivore ever found — will lead Sotheby’s Natural History sale in New York on July 16.

"This is one of only four known Ceratosaurus in the world. And of those four, this is the only juvenile," said Cassandra Hatton, Sotheby’s vice-chairman and global head of science and natural history, noting that juvenile fossils rarely survive the rigors of deep time.

Hatton added that the specimen’s skull offers exceptional research value: "It’s incredibly rare to find a complete skull."

The specimen was unearthed in 1996 at the Bone Cabin Quarry in Wyoming and had previously been exhibited in unmounted form at the Museum of Ancient Life in Utah. It is the second most complete Ceratosaurus ever discovered, after the original holotype at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.
