Ok this made me laugh on our favourite auction site . I am calling Doren because he enjoys this type of post @caldigger 

 

Fossilized skeleton .

Found on Jurassic coast. Uk

 

Possibly crocosaurus, wood you believe it.

I think this is one if the finest examples of a Crocosaurus woodenesis I have ever seen!

Note the obvious left leg being skinnier than the right. Very typical of the ones found around Dorset.

What ever the cost, get it!!!  You may never see another of this quality come around again in your lifetime.

I checked out the listing not much else offered. I was disheartened to read they will not ship across the pond to the States. :(:(

That is a shame because they could just float it a cross.  Sorry Frank

Indeed, it just might come to that. Wood it be wrong for me to leaf this until the last minute and snipe it from some poor sap?

But they do grow under trees (or bushes).

 

I like the extra set of eyes on the thick leg.
