✨ What makes dinosaur bone special?
- Its pattern began as the actual structure of bone: porous areas, dark contours, and irregular “cells” replicates the pores, channels, and zones of growth with different densities.
- Minerals transformed the biological form into stone: silicon dioxide, calcite, and iron compounds penetrated into the cavities of the buried bone, where they crystallized and helped preserve the fine geometry of the original structure.
- Each cut reveals another prehistoric map: some specimens are finely reticulated, while others have large elongated cavities, undulating zones, contrasting edges or centers filled with different minerals.
