Dinosaur eggs have antiques valuation of £0.24 million
It will be the first time dinosaur eggs have been auctioned, it is believed.
Dinosaur eggs set to go under the hammer have been given an antiques valuation of SR1.5 million (£0.24 million).
According to the Saudi-based daily Alyoum, it will be the first time in the world these type of items - which are being sold by an unnamed seller - have ever gone up for sale.
The auction is set to take place at the Danat Exhibition Center, but a date for the sale has not yet been provided by the anonymous vendor.
What's more, he stated that the eggs have been checked by an Australian fossil institution, rated among the world's top five fossil study firms, according to reports.
Other unusual items to have gone up for auction recently included 40 giant fiber glass toad sculptures - previously on display around the streets of Hull for three months - which fetched £60,000.
The pieces had been designed to mark the 25th anniversary of the death of poet Phillip Larkin.
