Description: DS-61- Nice chunk of dinosaur bone showing lots of red marrow cells on top, front, and back. Rind on left and right sides. Lots of dry shots. Natural bone; not treated. Weight: 181.19 Grams. This is a hard piece to speculate about. It has an unusual shape with the left and right sides consisting of rind, but flat and angling to the narrower back of the piece which is showing red-agate marrow. The left and right sides are a light green with some patches of rust and tan color.Left Side 1 to 1 1/2 Wide X 1 5/8 Tall. Right Side-Mainly 1 1/2 inches wide X 1 5/8 Tall. The front of the piece is wider and shows thicker rind on either side of a vein of red-agate marrow. So it obviously is an inner bone of some type, possibly a section of rib, but I’m not going to commit to that though it does resemble other bone I am sure was a rib section. 2 1/8 Wide X mainly 1 3/4 inches Tall. Back -Shows black rind bands and red-agate marrow cells. 1 1/4 inches to 1 1/2 inches wide. Mainly 1 1/2 inches Tall. Top- Thick black rind edges surround red agate marrow. Left angle 1 1/2 inches; Back edge 1 1/4 inches; Right angle 1 1/4 inches; Front edge Two inches Wide. Bottom-thick black rind bands and a narrow bit of red-agate. Two inches widest X one to mainly 1 1/2 inches Tall. Dinosaurs first appeared at the end of the Middle Triassic or in early Late Triassic time, approximately 230 million years ago. The primitive dinosaurs of the Triassic were neither as abundant nor as varied as they would become in Jurassic and Cretaceous times. 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.
