FF7_Yuffie Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 From IoW. Small.. I'm looking to add a few verts to my collection. This is one I am eyeing. If it passes muster. Thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 This does not look like a tail vert like the label indicates, more of a dorsal, no attachment points for chevrons. Not very not very familiar with these verts, found this old plate of H. foxii you can compare against. (Hulke 1882) Cervical 1 thru 10, Dorsal 11-12, caudal 13 One from wealden book. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FF7_Yuffie Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 Cheers. I'll have a closer look after work. At first glance though, it doesn't look long enougj to be a hypsi dorsal from fig 11 and 12. They seem quite squat and the one for sale isnt.

FF7_Yuffie Posted May 21, 2020 Author Share Posted May 21, 2020 I found a pic of verts from Argentina, Notahypsilophodon (amazing name for a dino. It's a hypsilophodon, but not. Brilliant) And this looks similar enough to me to say it is a Hypsi vert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, Giganotosaurus means "giant southern lizard", Notohypsilophodon means "Southern high crested tooth" (actually Hypsilophodon's name is in reference to Hypsilophus, the formerly used genus for the iguana and was being used in the same way as Iguanodon). I believe @Jaimin013 posted a similar one in his collection either on instagram or on the forum a while back. It's somewhat similar to a Thescelosaurus vertebra I found in Wyoming, so it could be from an animal like Hypsilophodon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought thr scientists were having a bit of fun lol. I checked out @Jaimin013 s vert and Thescelo verts. Looks good to me, so I'm gonna add Hypsi to my buy list. Thanks for the help.

I've got my eye on your UK theropod vert too. That looks awesome. And the herrerasaur vert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a caudal and IMO different than the one you are looking at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I thought the shape--flattish ends, concave middle and that sort of pinch at the top made a decent likeness. Guess I need to look harder at the little details.

fossils-uk Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 sadly I presumed that it was a tail caudal due to the small size. It was definitely collected from the hypsilophodon bed on the isle of wight and the shape and histology is consistent with other hypsilophodon vertebrae I have had in stock previously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
