Mammoth Skeleton Up For Auction

PARIS -- Here's your chance to buy something really old.

Monday, Christie's auction house in Paris is selling a 15,000-year-old Siberian mammoth skeleton.

You'll need plenty of room and plenty of cash if you want it.

Bidding starts at nearly $200,000 and it's more than 12 feet high and 16 feet long, tusks and all.

The other items up for auction include an unhatched dinosaur egg and a 330-pound meteorite.
