Gembone, also known as gem bone, agatized dinosaur bone, or dinogem, is mineralized bone, often dinosaur bone, which occurs when minerals from groundwater are deposited within the bones. It is one of five gemstones created from organisms (the others being pearl, ammolite, amber and jet). Minerals replacing organic materials in gembone include iron minerals such as hematite, marcasite, and pyrite, and silica in cryptocrystalline form in agate and jasper, or as the amorphous mineraloid opal. Aside from their use in jewelry, scientists can use this type of specimen to perform research into the anatomic structure of ancient species.
