Item Description
Superlative set of Turquoise after mammal bones - showing off a fine set of well-preserved molars set in matrix. The pseudos are sharp, colorful, and lustrous. The bone is replaced by turquoise! I have seen VERY few of these specimens aroun, and only loose and small pieces from this region otherwise. This large matrix specimen hosts teeth, jaw parts, and other bones (probably more inside). The largest tooth is 4 cm. Absolutely first-rate and stunningly unusual specimen, as you can tell from the pics. There are simply cannot be many psuedos like this in quality and size from anywhere. I have no clue as to what something like this is worth, I will admit. so we let it ride. But, my feeling is anything under $1000 is a steal.
