Steneosaurus bone slab

This is a larger slab with various bones from the extinct crocodile Steneosaurus spec.

The fossil comes from the Lower Jurassic (Lias epsilon) of Dotternhausen near Balingen in Germany.

The stone measures about 26 x 26 x 3 cm. A small piece was broken and have been glued professionally,
no further manipulations.

The fossils were gently uncovered using modern sandblast technology. In the past such finds were
usually scraped out of the rock which often severely damaged the bones.
