The Permian Block

You can order any of the fossils listed below by clicking here

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. Collected years ago from the Dolese Quarry in Lawton, Oklahoma.
