patrickhudson Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 My three year old was playing with a box of random Dino bones this morning and he handed me this one - which I hadn’t really paid attention to before. It seems like they’re vessel grooves on the smooth surfaces? I know it’s tough to see the symmetry on my pics, and I know it’s pretty chunkosaurus, but I didn’t know with the unique convex and concave surfaces including the unique surface texture if it was at all identifiable. Unique shape. Frill piece? Unidentifiable? judith river formation of northern Montana - milk river thanks folks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Nice find... half of an ankyosaur scute (osteoderm). Its texture is very similar to ceratopsian frill but the round shape and the huge keel... ankylosaur. When I say ankylosaur, I am not distinguishing between ankylosaur and nodosaur. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrickhudson Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 Thanks for the quick reply guys. I’m still having a tough time visualizing it, but I don’t think we’ve found anything like this before. Always exciting to find something new.
