Description

Polished "Gem" Dinosaur Bone
Jurassic
Morrison Formation
Utah, USA

This sizable specimen of "Gem" Dinosaur Bone is singular and impressive for many reasons. Most obvious is the fact that it is polished over its entirety. The meaty offering with exquisite preserved trabecular structure is loosely shaped like - and even substantially resembles - a human liver. The rock is rich and colorful with an abundance of reddish hues on the concave surface. The shape and form of this fossil make it something quite special. The prehistoric bone measures some 6.5 inches (16.5 cm), and the offering weighs a full 974 grams. This is a great example of polished "Dino" bone.
Measurements: 6.69 x 4.04 x 1.93 inches (17.00 x 10.25 x 4.91 cm)
