Tom,
Obviously the giraffe swallowed a couple of siderites before it was demised by the Chixculob (or alike) tsumani.
This exotic example therefore is to learn us one more feature: some 65 MY ago (and perhaps still now ?), giraffes did not digest very readily siderites....A valuable observation for Science...
Cheers,
Zelimir

"a piece of a lithified giraffe",
COOL!!!!! I always wanted one of them! But how do you explain the metal? At any rate, any one to buy a piece of a lithified giraffe? : )
