A nice example of a bone block with bones from an ichthyosaur from the world-famous Jurassic Coast beach of Lyme Regis, Dorset UK.

The piece or Jurassic shale matrix measures 150 mm (5.85 inches) across and contains several bones from a juvenile ichthyosaur. There are several bones from the jaw and skull alongside a humerus (arm bone), coracoid (shoulder bone), and paddle digit (finger bone). This is an unusual association of bones and suggests the animal was scattered on the seafloor prior to being fossilised. 

The level of preservation in the bones is exquisite - they are perfect down to the tiniest level of detail. They also have a lovely dark colour distinctive of bone from this location. The humerus measures 34 mm and the coracoid measures 44 mm, meaning the animal was a juvenile when it died. The pale part of the matrix is the body chamber of an ammonite, which is unusual to find in these bone fossils.

It is had to find blocks with multiple bones in like this one, and each shows a snapshot of the seafloor in the early Jurassic. The bones are well preserved and have been prepared using air abrasive techniques. 

The fossil weighs 610 grams and can be displayed flat or standing on its side as it has a cut-flat base.

These fossils were first found by pioneering Victorian fossils hunters like Mary Anning. Ichthyosaur bones are very popular fossils from this location.

Around 198 million years old (Sinemurian, Early Jurassic), this fossil would make a wonderful addition to any collection.

If you've been hurt by the Church, this is a good read. Chapter 17 is a must read. It is a very quotable book, too.

Academic in nature, but informative for the average reader.
Format: Kindle
Granted this is an academic textbook, but there is much in this work for the average Christian who just wants to dig deeper into the Old Testament. Each chapter represents a different book in the Old Testament, and is was written by a scholar who has special research knowledge on that particular book. Chapters are not as long and drawn out as many academic Old Testament survey works can be. They are semi-concise, and filled with lots of information on each book of the Old Testament. Written from a conservative standpoint, the book takes a high view scripture and confirms the veracity of Scripture and verbal plenary inspiration. If I had to lodge one complaint against the text, I would criticize it for a lack of illustrations, charts, graphs, maps, and pictures and such. It's New Testament counterpart is filled with such, but this volume is lacking in that area, for some strange reason. I guess the publisher must've been on a limited budget when developing this volume. LOL. If you are getting ready to take an Old Testament survey class and this is your text, you've got something to get excited about. Blessings in Christ, Myke Harbuck Byron, Georgia

Good Text Book
Format: Hardcover
This is a great book when looking for an introduction to the OT. It is fairly easy to read, and each chapter ends with questions which encourage the reader to retain what was just read. This book seemed at least to this reader, to take fairly complex subjects and make them understandable and very readable.
