Interesting piece.  Can you show where this is located on a photo or diagram in published literature?

Where is this bone fragment located in relation to the sclerotic ring?

Ok cool, will do:) 

Such an awesome fossil!!! Ive never seen any sclerotic rings for sale, full or partials, until this one, and never again since! It just showed up in stuff from someone I follow on...the popular auction site. It was pretty cheap too. At least compared to what I would imagine it would/could/should go for. It's from a pretty big animal, too. It's like 2.3/4" at the tallest point.
