If you have some spare cash to burn, you can back a crowdfunding project for polyhedral gaming dice made out of genuine T-Rex bone fossils. They're not cheap, though!

The bone is, apparently, ethically sourced--coming from "scraps and broken fragments" not used by museums or scientists. The dice come in three different styles (and prices!); the most expensive option is a set of dice carved from solid bone, which will set you back a whopping $599. Cheaper options include "bone inclusions", which are fossil fragments suspended in the center of clear dice, at $99; or pulverized bone, which is blended with resin, for $69. Those are for full dice sets, of course--you can also grab single dice if you don't want to splash out that much cash. Delivery is in July 2026.

In addition to the dice, the Kickstarter also offers 1:12 scale dinosaur replica skulls, 1:53 scale full replica skeletons, and fancy dice cases and stands.

Kind of reminds me of 'Artisan Dice', who sell dice made from such insane things as 'Mammoth Ivory' and 'Giraffe Bone'. If I recall correctly, they do have a disclaimer that states it is on to you to determine if it is legal to import such things in your country.
IIRC the Artisan Dice guy has warrant out for his arrest in a state because of ignoring requests to appear for a lawsuit related to business practices...

Really ? I had no idea. In response to your post, I did a quick search and found multiple reddit posts, about people never receiving their multiple hundreds dollar purchases (some not even years after the purchase).
