Description

Petrified Limb Cast Slab
Eocene
Clarno Formation
Hampton Butte, Crook County, Oregon, USA

This Petrified Limb Cast is not only polished over both sides, but it also offers an intense, unusual, and indescribable overall greenish coloration. The fossil comes out of the renowned Hampton Butte, which is well-known to collectors. This piece was part of an old collection that was cut and polished with now obsolete methods, so some of the unique hues may be the result of discoloration. Regardless, this one has two primary display faces and a very colorful surface with organic patterning that resembles algae.
Measurements: 12.60 x 10.43 x 0.39 inches (32.00 x 26.50 x 1.00 cm)
