dinosaur vertebra from the Upper Jurassic of Portugal!

[Monica]

Hello everyone!

 

I just received a dinosaur vertebra from the Upper Jurassic of Cambelas, Torres Vedras in Portugal, and I was wondering if it would be possible to identify it any further than "dinosaur".  Perhaps @Troodon and @LordTrilobite could give their opinions?

 

Here are some photos:

Thanks so much for your help!  (And thanks to @Vieira for the fossil!)

Nice score Monica!

Good pickup.. unfortunately not much diagnostic about your specimen to try to center in on a family of dino's.   Lots of sauropods and smaller Ornithischians in that assemblage.  Its the Lourinha Formation if you did not know.

Thanks for your input, Frank - I really appreciate it!

(It's my first recognizable dinosaur bone, so I'm pretty excited about it!!!)

Seems too fragmentary to put any further ID on it beyond what's already been said.
