6.5" Polished Pliosaur (Liopleurodon) Limb Bone - England
This is a 6.5" wide section of polished limb bone from a pliosaur (Liopleurodon sp.). The bone comes from the Middle Jurassic (160 million year old) Oxford Clay of England. Fragmentary bones are a fairly common occurrence in the clays of this formation, and this one has been cut and polished on one side to reveal the beautifully preserved, agatized cell structure.
