Well, I figured that I should start a member’s collection. Sorry for my absence, I was busy with college classes. I did great this semester, and I even won a student leadership award! With that being said, I’m gonna start my collection off with a piece that I acquired for my birthday! My 22nd Birthday is tomorrow (June 14th), and I was strapped for money. My father and grandmother chipped in, and helped me acquire this chromium woodworthia piece from a local rock shop that I frequent! It’s from Arizona, and it only cost $60 USD! I’ll try to be active here whenever I can, as I am exhausted from this semester of college (having to abruptly switch to an online format due to COVID-19). I’ll have to link other threads of my fossils and post pictures of my previous additions to my collection to this thread whenever I have the time!

Ankylosaurus/Nodosaurus Ungals and Foot References?
Kurufossils posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Hi, does anyone have or know where I can view images of a ankyloaurus/nodosaur foot but especially the ungals? Having a hard time finding images for a comparison. -
From the album: Dinosaurs
?Tyrannosaurus rex Lance Fm., Weston Co., WY, USA 1" X 1.5" X .5" I got this bone perhaps foolishly last year (although it wasn't very expensive at all; that coupled with the provenance that follows is why I got it). It was sold as a T. rex bone chunk, like many you can find online. There is nothing identifiable about these hunks of bone - you need something more substantial like a whole bone to be certain. I got this bone from a seller who finds many of the fossils himself, was director of a small museum in South Dakota (now gone I believe), and found T. rex "Ivan." This bone was in association with a (pes) claw, toes, metatarsals, tibia, ischium, gastraila, and other limb bone chunks in one site that he identified as all belonging to T. rex. The credibility of the seller and the association I think makes a good case for this being from T. rex. If you really want to spend your money on something like this, you need association (ideally with photos available), and an authoritative source doesn't hurt. -
Hi y'all. I bought a lot of fragmentary, unidentified dinosaur rib bones from Hell Creek, Harding Co., SD. I didn't buy them for this bone in particular, but once in-hand, it caught my eye and I wondered if it was identifiable since it had a more unique shape. This of course may be wishful thinking, and I'm fine with it remaining unidentifiable. My primary guess is it being the proximal end of a Tyrannosaur cervical rib. I referenced Brochu (2002) "Osteology of Tyrannosaurus rex: Insights from a Nearly Complete Skeleton and High- Resolution Computed Tomographic Analysis of the Skull." ^scale bar is 15 cm It seems very similar, in my eyes. It has the right size and form on both sides of the rib. However, I don't know if Tyrannosaur cervical ribs are similar to those of other dinosaurs in Hell Creek, so it could still be unident. Or, my lack of knowledge could be unreasonably stretching the resemblance.

Perhaps someone could shed light on these 2 hollow bones. The little one came in abag of misc bones years ago and has a fused joint ? at end, the big one I just dont remember . The little bone maybe has a faint smell when burnt, not positive. The big one has zero smell when burnt. The big one is heavy, the little one feather light. If someone could suggest species and if dinosaur would be great.

From the album: Aguja Formation
Dinosaurs have a distinct bone structure, with large and well-defined Haversian Systems/Osteons (which look like rings around holes where blood vessels used to be). -
I found a nice exposure of the Arundel Clay recently. For those who don't know, the Arundel is an early Cretaceous unit known for it's dinosaur, plant, and other fossils, and is the only source of early Cretaceous dinosaurs east of the Mississippi River. I've been hitting the sites a fair bit over the past several weeks, finding a lot of really nice lignified and fossil wood and even some leaf imprints, amber, and what might be the imprint of a piece of bone or shell in a lump of clay. However, I recently found this specimen which has perplexed me. To start off; I'm fairly certain these are fossils. I just can't tell what of. They look similar to petrified wood, however I have not seen such fossilization of the other wood fossils from this site (or elsewhere from this unit). It appears to be silicified/agatized. I know dinosaur remains have been claimed to have been found near this site, including pieces of a leg bone that the finder originally mistook for wood (I can't verify if that's true or not, however). The Arundel is also well known as a dinosaur bearing unit, however I haven't heard/seen of agatized remains from it. After a quick search online it is possible, and my specimen at least bears a superficial resemblance to pieces of agatized bone from the Morrison Formation. Unfortunately my piece is too weathered to really see any features typical of bone in cross section, like a "sponge texture" or "webbing." Along the edge of the piece there is a bumpy, almost crystalline (for lack of a better word) texture, but nothing specific. I've included an image of a typical fossil wood specimen from this locality to compare this piece with the fossil wood.

Hi, I purchased this unprepared, and was wondering what type of animal it came from? It’s from the lance fm, @jpc @Troodon@hadrosauridae, work your magic, please!
-
Hi, I was wondering if anyone could identify this for me? it was found in the lance formation, and is just over an inch long.
-
Hi, I was wondering if this looks right? To me it doesn’t look right too me, but it looks like it fits. I was wondering what you guys thought? We’re glueing it but we’ll de bond it if needed. It’s most likely from the lance fm.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could tell me what this is? It is 1 3/4 inches by 1 inch, and most likely from the hell creek formation.

Hi, I recently purchased this bone unprepared and prepared it myself, I was wondering what type of bone it is, and what kind of animal it comes from? It is about three and a half inches, I’m not sure of the age but most of the stuff I’ve got from that seller is hell creek formation.

I bought this agatized dinosaur fossil at a rock shop in Indianapolis about 4 years ago. It is agatized and it was at risk of being bought and sliced up. I am glad I rescued it. It has an identifiable shape. The attribution was only that it came from the Western United States and that it was a plant eater. It is probably from an old collection. It weighs over 90 lbs. It is wrapped up at the present time in tarp material because I moved in 2018 and I have not unwrapped it yet. I am thinking possible sauropod femur upper end. I can get more pictures and measurements when I unpack it.

My family owned private land near garden park in Canon City, Colorado. This is a couple of pieces that were found there. I'm just curious on what body part they may be.

Found while digging in the badlands of Montana in Glendive, in the very corner of the Hell Creek formation we found this single flat piece. At first I only noticed the one hole in the front, but upon closer inspection I discovered a partial second hole above the first, and one side has a structure visible inside the bone. Just wondering if anyone has any clue what it could be! Thanks for any input in advance.

Good morning everyone. I know it's impossible to put a precise id on this sample, but I'm cataloging my collection and wasn't sure how to make it's ID tag. So I know it's a dinosaur bone and as a UK Registered Veterinary Nurse, I know it a bone end at a joint. It was given in 2016 by my fossil club I'm a member off, Eastern society of Paleontology, Mo. Some may know the great paleontologist Dr Bruce Stinchcombe, Dr Mike Fick and Mr Rick Poropat who are also members. Thank you for any idea of the animal it came from. as rough guess, I was thinking some sort of small mammal or reptlie like the Champsosaurus so.

Just wondering if there is enough of this bone to make it identifiable? I assume its the proximal section of a rib, but just checking if it could be part of a fibula or tibia? From the weald clay of sussex UK. Barremian . Thanks in advance. Henry

Seller lists this as a Pachycephalosaurus toe bone from Hell Creek formation, South Dakota. It is 1" long x 7/8" wide. That is all the information the seller gives. I have no clue how to ID a Pachy toe so i figured it was a good one to put on the forum and get help from more knowledgeable collectors

I found this piece of dinosaur bone last summer while I was surface collecting in the Horseshoe Canyon area near Drumheller, Alberta. It wasn’t until I was home and cleaned the piece that I noticed what looks like tooth marks on the bone. Is it tooth marks on the bone? I know this is stretch but any idea what type of bone this may be (rib, leg, etc.)? Thanks for looking at this. Cherise
