Fossilised penis sold at auction

It was trapped under the Siberian permafrost for more than 12,000 years, and discovered by fossil hunters who at first mistook it as a mammoth tusk.

But on Sunday, the four and a half foot long fossilised walrus penis believed to be the world's largest was the most discussed item of natural history for sale at I.M. Chait auctions in Beverley Hills.

Believe it or not, the buyer was Ripley's, the chain of oddity museums, whose owners bid $8000 ($A9620) over the phone from Orlando, Florida.
