I just learned about gem bone in the last couple weeks. Whether it's a type of ammonite I don't have, a piece of petrified wood that catches my eye, or learning about things like gem bone, I'm just constantly amazed at what treasures we can find on our beautiful planet. Thanks for sharing the video 👍
I just found your channel and really like it. I moved to southwest Utah a couple years ago. Ive always been a rockhound, but didnt have this type of material back home. Been into lapidary for a few years now and am trying to learn as much as possible about dino bone, coprolite, and all the other fossils ive been finding around my property and such. videos like this are super helpful. Thank You
Hi Mark. I’m new to this. I’ve come into some nice specimens.. I’m not looking to flog them.... I’ve found a used stone axe and a large piece with big black cells. I though it was bite marks but cells make sense but it has been chewed on after it died and before fossilization. Is there any way you can help me out to figure out what I’ve got mixed in my load of river rock lol!
Enjoyed finding this site. Many years ago, latter 1970's/early 1980's, I bought a small slab of dino bone @ Rock, Gem & Jewelry Show, not sure where in the Northeastern U. S. or Colorado. The slab showed the capilary areas; do not know if it was treated or not. Memory doesn't tell me, but I don't think so. I cut 2 or three pieces from the slab: elongated oval, smaller oval & freeform. No diamond compounds, wheels in those days. Used silicon carbide wheels, finer grade S-c belts, and an 8" piece of shag rug double rubber-cemented to a spin disc on the end of a horizontal lapidary unit. I probably used either a slurry of Cerium oxide or a Bruce bar of the same as I liked it better than tin oxide, and the resulting polish was always 'higher'/brighter (?) than the tin. I have subscribed as I want to learn more about Dino bone. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Mark? What would a hand axe made from dinosaur bone run for? Keeping in mind it was used heavily back when it was made ..... oh about 7000 ya in Canada? It kinda looks like hellcat formation bones but from Canada?
@@MarkAndercells thanks mark. Ummmm our of curiosity where are the formations know for red Dino bone fossils? I’m trying to figure out if this is a new source of untapped material. If it is I thinks it a put it on the map kinda thing. The area in central Ontario.
@@raccoonresident5760 Four Corners region of the US in the Morrison formation. I have yet to see any red bones come out of Canada. In Patagonia they can be found. There are a lot of things that resemble dinosaur bone. Many rocks get mistaken for it.
@@MarkAndercells I’ve got two. The ends of bone... one with the bone marrow exposed. And a reddish brown flake. Looks like it could be ready for jewelry. But I think they are fossilized Dino chick body parts that were liberated from the shell at some point. All they had to do was pick em up, size em then drill a hole. I don’t think paleo were designers as much as pickers then drillers. Flaking bits of fossilized Dino bone then sizing them is too time consuming. Assuming a good fall and spring flood of the area would have provided them with a fresh constant supply of black, browns and reds. Of hammers axes, teeth nails etc. All they needed to do was fix a handle to it and polish it.

Thanks for the Dino video. Learned info I didn't know. Looking forward to seeing more!
Thank you so much for your video. It was very informative. ❤🎉❤🎉

Hey I have found a bunch of this stuff my biggest piece is over 10 lbs I'm trying to find out more information on these stones
Mine has purple

I have no idea what that would be worth. You would probably want to have someone specializing in things like that, and get verification.
