bowfin Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Last years dig season. Fossil was found lying on the ground, no digging. I was saying to myself is that what I think it is, not used to seeing or finding toe bones this large. Measures 17 inches in length. It was in three pieces which fit back together quite nicely. This was in the Lance formation and is complete. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaleoNoel Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Agreed, metatarsal III and it could only be from one thing at that size. Congrats on a killer find! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpc Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Yes... yes on it being a rex an yes on cool find. One does not simply find things like this every day. Any chance there is more of the animal there? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowfin Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 I did search the area but could not find anything more. I won’t be back on that ranch for a couple of years but it will be the first place I go to when I return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
