Gorgosaurus sp. (libratus?) partial femur (Lambe, 1914) Tyrannosaurid theropod Family: Tyrannosauridae Subfamily: Albertosaurinae Genus: Gorgosaurus (Lambe, 1914) Labelled as being a partial femur (thigh, upper leg). Late Cretaceous (Campanian), 75.1 – 76.6 Ma Red Deer River Valley, Nr. Drumheller, Alberta, Canada. Unboxing my old collection that has been in storage for years and forgot that I had this (purchased August 1988) – labelled as being a Gorgosaurus sp.partial femur. I am assuming that the groove was for a tendon or blood vessel? It appears that fossilised / mineralised spongiform material is visible in the cross-section at one end – might this be fossilised / mineralised bone marrow or spongy (cancellous) bone? Areas of mineralised bone surface also appears to be present. Research suggests that it is likely from the Dinosaur Park Formation which is especially prolific in dinosaur remains and well exposed in the badlands which flank the Red Deer River.

I posted a report in the trip section yesterday that included this bone I am not sure about on an ID. @Ash suggested the tip of a mammoth femur and in looking at a number of mammoth femur photos I think he is right. If anyone can corroborate or suggest an alternative your input would be appreciated.

Hello again, I ffound this bone about 2 years ago close to Mugharaq Port, Ruwais, Abu Dhabi, UAE. It was found in a cliff inside of clay-like rock, it was barely acessable during high tide. It is more then 30cm long. The bone looks like it is made of clay, and was very fragile when i cleaned it, it is now less fragile and hardened. Any clues as to what it is? I think it is some sort of legbone. The town of ruwais used to be a savanna not so long ago, hope that helps.
