Description: Fossil Dinosaur Cabochon - Cab2- Jurassic/Morrison Formation. Cab-2 - Here’s a very solid unpolished, flat slab, not a true cabochon in that it hasn’t been shaped. It is nearly a perfect rectangle, and is smooth front, back and two edges and rough on the two narrow ends. 124.50 Carats. Shown WET. I think it’s odd that other people selling cabochons list an over 150 million year old dinosaur bone as “new”, and it makes me wonder if they are fabricating. This is real DINOSAUR BONE - not an artificial replica. Dry the piece looks dark blue-grey with orange and blue cells, with a few white ones showing up. Wet lightens it up and brings out a lot of color and polished this will make for pretty jewelry. Soft bluish-white cells, light orange, some pink surrounded by fine black webbing. Has a nice array of cell-shapes which add to interesting pattern. 2 1/2 inches Tall X 1 inch wide. Uniform 1/4 inch thick. 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.
