(Top): Precious white Opal replacement of a fossil vertebra from a 115-million-year-old plesiosaur. This specimen, from White Cliffs, New South Wales, Australia, weighs 822.5 carats and measures 60 × 50 × 45 mm. It is very rare to find gem-quality Opal fossils like this intact, because gem cutters usually cut them up for production of gems for jewelry (FMNH H443). Bottom: Charles Knight mural of a plesiosaur [CK34T_JW].
