Description

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

This sizable specimen of "Gem" Dinosaur Bone dating to the Jurassic Period out of the famous Morrison Formation of Utah features a reflectively polished window face with a wonderfully preserved trabecular structure. The dark, rich hues over the display surface contrast sharply with the rugged, slightly concave bottom and exterior sides of the now fossilized rock. This fossil remnant is a nearly morphologically complete vertebra, making it uncommon and collectible on another level. This piece of paleontological history tells a story.
Measurements: 6.10 x 5.91 x 2.95 inches (15.50 x 15.00 x 7.50 cm)
