    Hi - the photo of the allodesmus bone has the same coloring of some of the fossil bones I have (past down from my father).  It's  beautiful finished piece... Did you prep it yourself?

    Thank You.

    It was partially prepped by Me, but the finish work was done by Ptychodus64. 

    You can see before, during  and after pictures here...
