LordTrilobite Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Hm. That's a very difficult one because it has very little identifiable features. Either a dorsal or caudal vert. But I see no attachment for a chevron. So I'm leaning towards a dorsal vertebra. The two things that jump out to me, is that the centrum seems to be quite tall and thin. And it seems to be amphicoelous. I don't think it's spinosaurid at least. Possibly croc dorsal, but since the centrum is quite tall and thin I kinda lean towards indeterminate theropod. 2 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
