Geological Age: 66–72 mya

Description: This one of a kind Sauropod hip bone sphere from northwestern Madagascar has been polished into a smooth display piece while still showing the open cellular structure of fossilized bone. The surface has a tight network of cream, tan, brown, grey, and dark mineral-filled pockets, giving it a natural patterned look that is easy to recognize as genuine fossil bone rather than ordinary stone.

Sauropods were massive long-necked dinosaurs, and hip bone came from one of the strongest weight-bearing parts of the body. Over time, the original bone was buried and fossilized as minerals moved through the porous structure, replacing or filling the internal spaces while preserving the bone texture. The sphere shape makes this piece especially display-friendly, with the fossil pattern wrapping continuously around the surface.
