I received a small FRB in the mail yesterday. I hadn't purchased anything, and the return address looked farmiliar, so I was anxious to rip 'er open. Turns out it's a bunch of righteous dino bone from none other than the awesome man with rock vision -beefjello (Brian)! He had read my thread on the fossil forum wondfering if a piece I had was bone, and thought I probably had nothing to compare it to. Well, he was spot on, as I've never seen dino bone in the rough. I have seen slabs, and plenty of posts on RTH, but nothing in hand. The pieces he sent are fantastic, and I would guess top grade to boot. There's 2 large pieces I'll keep as specimens, and a few smaller ones I'll get some fantastic cabs from. I did one last night already - it's posted in the cab section already. Enough blabbering - on to the pix! Group shot: Here's the biggun'! Next largest piece: 3 cab worthy pieces for sure! Thank you so much Brian for your generosity! Some day I hope to return the favor.

Hey Nate I didn't realize you posted these here! The biggest of the lot is specimen grade for sure, solid but not agatized. The next one might be a good cutter.. and we already seen what you did with one of the smaller pieces! ;D
Have a wonderful Christmas bud!

Thanks Brian! I brought the cab to work today to show off. Everyone was really surprised when I told them what it was. They loved it!

That's a great find, I bought some and it just looked like a rock inside, a ugly rock.
