In the radius, I drilled and epoxied in 4- and 5-inch steel rods in three places to help strengthen such a long and narrow bone. Larger/longer dino bones like this are a lot of work, as one can imagine. The curvature of each is natural, and all four ends are completely natural, since these were not eroding out, but found in the context of another excavation. No sun-bleached areas, either. I built a shipping box, this with layers of foam, both hard and soft, hoping it will travel well. ("Buy It Now" price includes $15 for foam.)
