crystals in fossils



Calcite and other crystals sometimes form inside fossil bone. 

In the 19th century, for example, Hugh Falconer's Miocene and Pleistocene 
mammal fossils from the Siwalik Hills, India, contained large calcite crystals. 

Does anyone know of any dinosaur or mammal skulls in any US collection that 
contain obvious crystallization?

Much obliged for any info!
