All the specimens listed on this page were dissolved out of a large block of Permian
limestone from the Admiral Formation of Oklahoma. It took over 6 months and more
than 100 gallons of acid to dissolve the 30 lb block and release the bones. The block
contained thousands of bones from many disarticulated Permian vertebrates, all of
which had been deposited in a narrow water channel. The items listed are what we
have been able to sort through thus far. Please check back periodically for updates
as there are many more fossils that we will be offering from 'The Permian Block'.
