You can own the famous mosquito in amber or John Hammond’s licence plate as a huge array of Jurassic Park memorabilia goes up for auction.
If you happen to have a couple thousand dollars lying around and you love dinosaurs, an auction in Los Angeles has just listed some excellent film memorabilia from Jurassic Park for bidding.
Among them are John Hammond’s Jeep licence plate, which is estimated to fetch somewhere between $6,000 and $12,000, and the famous mosquito in amber which will go for slightly less – its estimate is between $5,000 and $10,000.
Various items from the later films, such as Dr Alan Grant’s shirt from Jurassic Park III and a giant locust from Jurassic Park: Dominion are also up for auction. If you’re looking for something to decorate your home, you could get a T-Rex maquette, an Indominus Rex tooth or a Triceratops horn to put on your shelf. Really, what home is complete without a dinosaur horn?
The three day auction, which starts on 26th March, also includes plenty of Star Wars props as well as memorabilia from such films as 300, Back To The Future, Gladiator and various Marvel entries.

While you might be able to acquire some smaller bits for under $1,000, some items, such as Chewbacca’s Photocaster, are estimated to cost up to $500,000.
Ryan Gosling cosplayers might want to check out Colt Seavers’ jackets from The Fall Guy and the Driver’s outfit from Drive. One of the cheaper – at least compared to other auction items – bits is this bound second draft of The Thing screenplay, which seems like a bit of a steal for fans of John Carpenter’s horror masterpiece.
You can register for the auction and bid now, while the auction itself will take place from 26th March to 28th March.
