Aaandy_xd Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I acquired this dinosaur bone several years ago. It is said to come from Mongolia. Unfortunately, the seller didn't know what dinosaur and what type of bone it was. I definitely know for sure that it's real. The bone was checked by an expert. The bone is 38 cm long, between 15 and 20 cm wide and between 5 and 15 cm high. Maybe someone has an idea. Thank you in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pterygotus Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Hmm. Not a clue, sorry . Our expert @Troodon probably knows . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 It's very unrealistic to try to assign a specimen to a dinosaur without a provenance. A country of origin is rarely an adequate provenance since most countries have numerous exposures covering a wide range of ages. This specimen looks more geologic in origin than bone. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I agree with troodon... I don't see a bone there. It doesn't have the texture nor the shape. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaandy_xd Posted March 6, 2020 Author Share Posted March 6, 2020 No I'm really sure. The bone is real. The expert was of the Senckenberg-Group. One idea was a shoulder bone of a Iquanodon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishkeeper Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Shoulder bones don't have holes in them, and something about the texture of this is odd. It doesn't look like a bone, just a bone-shaped rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyBoy Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Well you have two of the most knowledgeable dinosaurs experts, on this forum, making those comments and one is with a museum. To me the texture is all wrong for it to be bone looks like a rock to me. I'm not aware of any dinosaur bone that looks like that. Skull elements have unusual shapes but are not that robust. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
