Judith River Plant Eater Toe Bones


CEP

Recommended Posts

I found these toe bones yesterday in the Judith River Formation near the Canadian border. I have found several bones like these but not completely sure of the identification to give them. They appear hadrosaur or triceratops like based on a google search of other similar bones. Let me know if you can identify them.

The coronoid process is the part that sticks up posterior to the teeth.

These bones are: Hoof of ceratopsian, probably, but it looks pretty beat up so I maybe wrong.  The black one... I don;t know.  The third one is a toe bones probably from a hadrosaur.

Thanks, the black one looks very similar to a coronoid process, it would explain the strange uneven curve like the one in patrickhudsons, we figured they were the same bone when we compared. Sorry the picture isn't great.

I believe the top left and right bones are hadrosaurian. 

Top left a hand ungual but like to see closer photos both sides and size.  Like jpc said pretty beat up, might be foot.

The top right is a toe bone
