Description
Articulated Vertebral Column
Measurements (25.0 at widest point x N/A x 110.0 in largest block cm)
This specimen is still contained within its original shale matrix, making the measurement for height impossible. Rough measurements for Width and Length were made using a hand held tape measure, not a set of calipers.
