Description
Available now is a genuine polished dinosaur bone slice from a Sauropod dinosaur, discovered in the Cretaceous deposits of the High Atlas Mountains, Morocco. This striking fossil dates back approximately 100 to 66 million years, offering a beautifully preserved cross-section of bone structure from one of Earth’s most iconic prehistoric creatures.
This fossil specimen has been cut and polished to reveal the rich, natural internal cellular structure of fossilised dinosaur bone. The result is a captivating piece of natural history, perfect for collectors, educators, or as a unique gift or display piece.

What is a Sauropod?
Sauropods were a group of large, long-necked, herbivorous dinosaurs that included some of the largest animals to ever walk the Earth, such as Brachiosaurus, Diplodocus, and Argentinosaurus. They were characterised by:
- Enormous size
- Long tails and necks
- Column-like legs
- Massive, air-filled bones designed to support their bulk
These iconic giants roamed across what is now Africa, South America, North America, and Europe, dominating Cretaceous landscapes for millions of years.
The bone slice offered here is from an unknown sauropod species found in Morocco’s High Atlas region, where dinosaur fossils are still being uncovered to this day. This region preserves a rich record of life during the Late Cretaceous, including both theropods (meat-eaters) and sauropods (plant-eaters).
Why Polished Fossil Bone?
Fossilised dinosaur bone is often preserved through a process called permineralisation, where minerals like iron and silica slowly replace the organic materials of the bone over millions of years. When polished, these bones reveal a stunning internal mosaic of cellular patterns, mineral veins, and earthy hues ranging from browns and reds to ochres and blacks.
This polished slice showcases the exquisite internal detail of ancient sauropod bone and serves as a compelling reminder of prehistoric life.
