Description: Lil’ Blue One - It is amazing how unique each piece of dinosaur bone can be!! This is an end cut from Big Blue, a specimen with very blue cells making up the majority of color when cut one way - but it was too big, and is very hard, agatized bone, so to fit it on the saw we cut a few end pieces. That angle gives it a whole different look! Photographed outside, shown both wet and dry. This weather - clouds, wind, cold sure makes it hard to get uniform photos. Smooth both sides. Weight: 36.25 Grams. The piece has large, very interesting cells with multi-colored centers. The blue cells are mixed in with more bright red cells, some light orange cells and some of the chocolate matrix expands out into lighter chocolate colored cells. I am open to offers, but realize that anything under a minimum I set is automatically rejected - I never see the offer and it’s nothing personal. If you are thinking of several pieces, and want to combine orders, email me first; I can offer a combined order price where you put everything in the cart and check out that way, all at once with a single tax charge and shipping charge. 2.75 to Three inches TALL. TOP 1 1/8 wide X 1 1/2 wide MIDDLE X Two inches Wide at flat base/bottom. Uniform 3/16 inches THICK. Allosaurus is a genus of large carnivores theropods -a group of dinosaurs that ran on two feet. They lived 155 to 145 million years ago during the Late Jurassic epoch. This dinosaur could grow up to Forty feet from head to tail, (about the size of a T-Rex.) Most Allosaurus fossil skeletons were about twenty-eight feet long. The name Allosaurus means “different lizard” alluding to its unique (at the time of its discovery) concave vertebrae. It is derived from the Greek word (allos- meaning different or other.)The name Allosaurus means “different lizard” alluding to its unique (at the time of its discovery) concave vertebrae. It is derived from the Greek word (allos- meaning different or other.) One of the earliest fossil remains ascribed to this genus were made by paleontologist Othniel Charles Marsh in 1877. The genus has a complicated taxonomy, and includes at least three valid species, the best known of which is A. Fragilis. The bulk of Allosaurus remains have come from North America’s Morrison Formation, with fossils also known from Portugal.
