Compy Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Hello again, while looking for more preserved dinosaurian remains I found this: It is from a bequest/inheritance so little is known by the family selling it except that it was bought at an auction in the US and properly declared to customs. It was told to be a pelvic bone of a juvenile triceratops. It measures roughly length: 25cm, width: 18cm, width: 8 cm and the weight is roundabout 2.5 kg. If it is a real pelvic bone to me it looks very worn or in a bad shape. What puzzles me is the black part of rock you can see in the bottom right corner of some pictures... On the other hand it is the first complete/intact pelvic bone I was able to find... What is your opinion on this piece? Is it real or a concretion? Is it a pelvic bone and to which species can (if even possible given the poor information) it be narrowed down? Is it worth to be collected? Thanks in advance!

JohnJ Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Looks like an oddly shaped chert / flint nodule. 3 The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordTrilobite Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Absolutely not. The shape does not resemble a triceratops pelvis at all. The structural detail also does not resemble bone. I agree with the others that this is geologic in origin. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
