The piece has a rough white outer jacket, giving it the look of a field-prepared fossil while keeping the bones supported and display-ready. Several large vertebrae are visible along one side, with additional broken bone sections spread through the surrounding matrix.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"437\" data-end=\"831\"\u003eThe fossil has a dry, natural texture with worn surfaces, cracks, sediment, and uneven bone detail throughout.
