Ruger9a Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I purchased two bones from a seller in Wyoming about 10 years ago and cannot figure out what animal they are from. It's about 3 inches. Can anyone help? Bone #1 is pictured below: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleoNoel Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 It's difficult to deduce the identity of an animal based on one incomplete bone, especially one that doesn't appear to have any defining features. I would say the best ID one could get is an indeterminate herbivorous dinosaur (the most common are Triceratops and Edmontosaurus). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Agree nothing diagnostic to point to a specific dino. Looks like a herbivore bone and might be the end of one of the pelvic bones similar to the Pubis postpubic rod of an Edmontosaurus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 Sorry did not see your additions. The new bone could be a chevron but no help with the first bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
