Here’s my 64 inch Sauropod femur in my living room! Found on private land in Colorado (not by me), likely Camarasaur.

That thing can break the floor:D

It almost broke my back bringing it in the house. I was in pain for 3 days after. Weights about 250lbs. 
 

I forgot to mention- my wife only allowed me to buy this if I agreed to allow her to name our daughter who she was pregnant with at the time! Will make an interesting story to tell her when she’s older!

That’s an awesome piece! Well worth the price of naming your daughter I think. I would have let my wife name our daughter  whatever she wanted for that big boy! ;)

So let me guess.  Your daughter's name is " 'My daddy spent all our money on a bone so now I can't go to college'-Joy".  :D  Is that about right?

That's huge!

 

My dog would have a fit if I walked into the house carrying that.

Here is my biggest fossil. A Phareodus testis I found in Kemmerer, Wyoming. Me to scale.

I think I have seen that big boy somewhere before. ;)
