One of the most famous specimens is a pliosaur nicknamed Eric, an almost-complete marine reptile preserved in opal.

最著名范本之一便是一昵称叫埃里克上龙，是一完好保存在欧泊内部海洋爬行动物。

The resulting fossils have both aesthetic and scientific value, and in 1993, Eric the pliosaur was almost made into jewelry by a broke owner looking to sell and potentially break up the pieces.

化石产物具有美学和科学双重价值，1993年上龙“埃里克”差一点就要被一名企图分割并寻求出售破坏性物主做成珠宝首饰。
