Triceratops Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Hi all! I have always been interested in Gastroliths, the stones many animals use to grind up food in the gizzard, and I would like to buy one of these stones that came from the crop of a sauropod dinosaur, but I haven't found many fossil sites offering them, here's one site that does-http://www.ukge.com/en-nz/Fossils-for-Sale/Dinosaurs/Dinosaur-Stomach-Stones-Gastrolith,-Jurassic,-United-States__p-15-294-3054.aspx The sellers give good reasons why the stones are genuine, but I thought I'd get an opinion from the fossil forum just in case. Thanks, -Lyall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
