That is totally amazing! Ive never found anything as cool as that :D

Ack.. Oh no, sorry I didn't clarify, no I didn't find this one.. I bought this for my personal collection. I WISH i could find something like this. This one came from China in the Xi'an Providence. I am hoping to some day find some Mosasaur fossils. Those fossils are found in this area. I know they recently found one in Fort Worth and one down the street here in Arlington.

Still, thats an amazing find though ^^ Ive never even seen one in person lol

yeah I've always wanted something like this in my collection of stuff and now I have one.. and of all the specimens i've seen this is probably one of the most impressive I've seen.

Wow, where does one find something like this?

in the ground

INDEED

that is such a hard decision, good lord...

Go with wallet size that can get you the others.

my goodness. This is the truth.

sit on it! see if it will hatch!

Sweet! My inner scientist wants to get a sample of the gases trapped in the fossil. I'm not sure it would tell us anything we didn't already know but it could still prove interesting.

Yeah I am curious as to what it looks like inside, there is clearly a pocket of air under the shell. not a big one but a fairly decent size one. I would say the area that rings as hollow is about as round as a silver dollar. the rest seems solid.

My guess is that there was some gas from decomposition that was trapped before the fossilization was complete. It could mean that there was a crack along the bottom due to pressure build up or it could be that there was enough pressure keep it all intact.

In any case that is just a beautiful specimen. I love seeing history like that, trying to imagine how it came to be preserved. It's fun to think back to when the planet was a much different place and after 4 billion years there have been so many changes.

I haven't found many fossils in my neighborhood but I'm surrounded by stone some of which goes back to the Archean Eon some 2.5 Billion years ago. It blows me away to think on that scale of time.

So cool!

Super cool. I love fossils and can say I don't have any cool as that.

SO cool! Thanks for sharing.

Call me jealous! :O

That's awesome. I love hadrosaurs. Do you know the exact species?
