NEW YORK — The nearly complete fossilized remains of a 161-million-year-old stegosaurus discovered in Colorado in 2022 will be auctioned by Sotheby’s in New York next week, auction house officials said. The dinosaur that Sotheby’s calls Apex stands 11 feet (3.3 meters) tall and measures 27 feet (8.2 meters) nose to tail, according to Cassandra Hatton, Sotheby’s global head of science and popular culture. The stegosaurus, with its distinctive pointy dorsal plates, is one of the world’s most recognizable dinosaurs. Apex, which Hatton called “a coloring book dinosaur,” was discovered in May 2022 on private land near the town of Dinosaur, Colorado.

A Denver theater company has listed its Golden Triangle converted church for sale, months after the company reported being in a “financial crisis.” Constant upkeep on the nearly 130-year-old building at 1080 Acoma St. has become too much to manage for Curious Theatre Co., according to Jeannene Bragg, the nonprofit’s managing director. “The building is our biggest asset, but it is also our biggest liability,” she said. Bragg said Curious spends nearly $10,000 per month on the mortgage and utilities, and then has to deal with the additional expenses of repairs and renovations. The listing comes months after Curious launched a public emergency fundraising campaign in March, saying it needed to raise $250,000 by July.

By JEFFREY COLLINS NORTH CHARLESTON, S. C. (AP) — Shalom Korai never knew his real name or his birthday. He was saved from the streets of a burning Warsaw neighborhood while he was a toddler during World War II, when the rest of his family was killed by Nazis in Poland.
