Cartilage is the stuff your ears and nose are made of, which is much softer than bone, and rarely survives fossilization. So these are a rare and lucky find indeed. These pieces have been removed from their matrix so much of the detail and structure of the bone can be seen. Some earth particles still remain. These fossil shark vertebrae have a shape that is a cross between a disk and an hourglass. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eApproximate Size of 1 piece\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e: 7cm x 6.5cm x 3.5m\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eApproximate Weight of 1 piece\u003c\/strong\u003e: 70g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1pc\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe do our best to buy quality products- although not every rock is the same.
