Description: DS-56 - Specimen bone with a band of rind along the bottom of the piece, a section of colorful skin and an inside with marrow showing. Natural bone, not treated. Shown wet and dry. Weight: 116.83 Grams. This piece has an outer curved two edges and a flat inner side that is the marrow. Classic bone that would brighten up nicely with a light coat of polyurethane, but still shows decent color just as is.The descriptions will be describing the dry bone colors. Left outer side: Has skin with rust, dark umber, a bit of tan with flecks of white for 3/4 of the piece and the bottom half has a quarter-inch high raised section of rind. Rind colors are off-white, light tan and a hint of blue-grey. 4 1/2 inches Wide X 1/2 to 1 inch to 1 1/4 tall at rind end. Right Outer side: dark tan with some blue-grey and off-white. Flecks of rust color too. Four inches Wide X 3/4 to 1 1/4 middle to one inch at the end. As mentioned the sides curve upward and join into a narrow top. The arch dimensions are : 1 1/2 inches at the narrow end; 2 1/2 inches through the middle and rind end of the piece - so mainly 2 1/2 inches curved. Inside: rust, tan, off-white, light blue peppered with some dark red. Because of how the piece is broken, and the band of rind showing, I believe the inside is marrow. It’s very pretty and the photos don’t capture the color the way I’d hoped. 3 1/2 to 4 1/4 Wide X One inch tall/tip to 1 3/4 middle to 1 1/2 at bottom. Utah is the site of the earliest Morrison dinosaur discovery, Dystrophaeus viaemalae, a sauropod dinosaur discovered on the 1859 Macomb Expedition to southeastern Utah.Although Utah is most famous for its Morrison Formation dinosaur fauna, Utah has a prolific fossil record that spans the entire "Age of Dinosaurs." The dinosaurs thrived for over 150 million years. The fluvial (stream-deposited) sediments of the Morrison Formation dominated the Upper Jurassic landscape of eastern Utah. Originating approximately 150 million years ago as floodplain deposits, the Morrison Formation is exposed throughout the Colorado Plateau, including Colorado, Wyoming, eastern Utah, northern New Mexico, parts of Montana and South Dakota, and the panhandle of Oklahoma.The well-known Morrison dinosaur fauna includes Utah's official state fossil, the meat-eating theropod Allosaurus; other theropods, including Ceratosaurus, Stokesosaurus, and Marshosaurus; the sauropod dinosaurs Apatosaurus (commonly known as Brontosaurus), Camarasaurus, and Diplodocus; and the ornithischians Camptosaurus, Dryosaurus, and Stegosaurus.
