Hi folks, I just wanted to share my latest addition to the Jurassic wing of my humble collection! This is a beautiful near complete Camptosaurus ischium. It has great bone quality despite being extremely fragile. It's about 14" long and is just missing some of the flanges but is otherwise complete. The Morrison Formation is one of my favourites and I'm extremely lucky to have secured this specimen, as they don't come around very often in all my years of scouring the internet. I absolutely love it Cheers Marcus

Hello - Some time ago I bought two partial bones, both from Kem Kem beds, Morocco - The specimen on the left in the photo in my opinion could be the final part of the ischium of a theropod dinosaur (roughly 21cm x 21cm- possibly Spinosaurus?) and the other specimen a partial vertebra (21cm x 13cm) of the same species - I'm not an expert and I'd like to know other opinions about the ID of the two fossils - Thanks in advance, Fabio

I haven't been able to place it, yet. I figure if I come across someone has familiar knowledge of bones like that, there's a much better chance of recognizing it, than someone just using pics and stuff.

Hello, I've been on the look for stegosaur fossils for a while. I found this on an auction site. I've no real information on it other than it was found in the Morrison and is supposedly a stegosaurus ischium.

Hi guys! I recently traveled to a ranch in Powderville, Montana where I went on my FIRST real, fossil dig! I dug for two days, and came up with a couple pretty interesting fossils. I'll probably be asking for help identifying several things, but here is the first... I originally thought and was told it was a whole rib bone, but as I prepped it I realized there was a structure along its length I was unfamiliar with. I checked back with the rancher and his wife, and they told me it may actually be an ischium... In addition to being the first fossil I've ever found, this was also my first prep. The 'head' of the fossil is pretty ambiguous, and I figured that knowing what it was might help me understand what to expect once I focused on prepping that spot. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Also, if it IS an ischium... I know ischium are a part of the pelvic girdle, but what purpose did that specific bone serve? Why did it stick out so peculiarly? Thank you!! Lauren
