Are these Morrison Formation bones possibly sauropod metatarsals? Have made 3d Models to help ID

[DJandLIMON111]

I have researched for a while now on these bones i have in my collection and only thing i can find that is pretty close to what i have are sauropod metatarsals. Can anybody maybe confirm this or what they may be from? The 3D models are very accurate i put the measurements on the 3d models just click on the annotations. They are from the morrison formation here in Colorado, thanks to anybody that can help!

 

1st bone:

Nice 3d's.  How did you make those?

 

Yes, they look like sauropod metapodials.  Did you find them together?  There may be more of the animal there.

Thanks took a while was worth it in the end they came out way better then i expected very accurate. Just saw a video on it week or so ago its called photogrammetry you take pictures around whatever object or in this case bone and get 30-50 pictures from all angles 360 degrees and this program called 3DF Zephyr will compile all the photos into a 3d model there is a tutorial on the website if you are interested and a free version of it. But awesome! glad i was on the right track, yeah they were together i did find other small bones with them but they are in pretty bad shape.

Amazing that you can do this! I am going to have to look into this. Would make things much easier when trying to show all the sides of a fossil.

Thanks for the info.  Yes, I am quite familiar with photogrammetry.  Just curious a to how others are doing it.

The quality of those scans is really good. I think I need to look into that program.

Yeah its insane you can do this without a super expensive setup im making a tutorial i will post on here soon
