FRANCE-AUCTION-PALEONTOLOGY

Christie's auctioneer Francois Curiel takes bids during a rare paleontology sale 16 April 2007 in Paris. The skeleton of a Siberian mammoth around 15,000 years old went under the hammer for 260,000 euros (352,000 dollars). The "mammuthus primigenius" dating back to the Quaternary period, or later Pleistocene, was put up for sale by an unnamed "private European collector." The name of the buyer was not made public.
