Mochaccino Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) Hello, Could I get some help identifying this gembone piece? Seller listed it as "gembone dino" with no other info. Dimensions are roughly 5cm cross section, 7cm long. I realize this may be difficult to ID exactly, so perhaps even just an assessment of authenticity as a dinosaur gembone would be helpful. Thanks!

Rockwood Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Bone preserved in gemstone sounds about right. Entire dinosaur skeletons have been sold as gemstone because no institution could afford to purchase it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know there were entire gembone skeletons, that's insane. So who purchases those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guns Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 look like typical gem bone from morrison formation. most likely from sauropod. Guns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
