Claudiosaurus Fossil found in Permian, Madagascar
Claudiosaurus was one of the first members of the neodiapsida, a primitive araeoscelidia. It had a relatively long body and neck, reaching on overall length of about 60 centimeters (2 ft). It is presumed to have been partially oceanic, living its life in a way similar to the modern marine iguana. The main reason for this theory is that the skeleton included substantial amounts cartilage, rather than bone, indicating it had trouble supporting its weight on land. In particular, the sternum was poorly developed, which would have made walking difficult out of water. Instead, it probably swam by undulating its body and tail, and holding its legs close to the body to increase streamlining. (Dinopedia.com)

Section Carving is a complex and difficult art to master. Defined as carving the subject from the same stone in one piece, the master carver must know not only other carving techniques, but also the intricacies of the gemstone. Some inclusion or fault may not be visible until the carving is underway. The carver must then be prepared to alter the design immediately. Usually a sketch is drawn before the carving is begun, with alternate drawings to refer to should unexpected weak spots appear. While it takes 8-10 years to become a master carver, another 3 years or more are required to become proficient in section carving.
This type of piece will require special shipping requirements and will be double boxed for safety.
