patrickhudson Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) First time hunting Dino bones and we found a bunch of stuff along the milk river in Montana. I have no clue what any of it is, but I know it’s all awesome A little about us: one of my daughters is 10 and is the only one I’ve been able to convince to love arrowheads, shark teeth, and dinosaur bones. We love being outside. I just chose a couple since I’m new here and want to see what I can find out. Thanks in advance. (we also found a huge 4 foot piece of beautiful petrified orange wood, lots of larger bones, toe bones, agatized bones, and what look like scapula, and heads of tibia and femurs). for now, here’s what I’d love to identify Edited April 27, 2020 by patrickhudson Misspell and added a little bio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Milk River badland area is typically Judith River Formation. Not much diagnostic that I could see to try to identify what these are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleoNoel Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I agree, unidentifiable bone fragments (but hey you still found some probable dinosaur bone, which is not something everyone has the privilege of doing). Keep hunting that area and you'll find some awesome stuff I wager. Have you found any dinosaur teeth there? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I agree... the two pieces you've shown are pretty river worn. Either worn by the Milk, or by some nameless Cretaceous Rriver. Welcome aboard, from a tad to the south. We'd love to see more of your finds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpc Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 nice bone chunks. Don't know if there is enough there to ID any of them, except the big one which I will call a femur. Probably a duck bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
