charlie3425 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) Hi everyone, I recently bought this 'Triceratops' vert from Hell Creek online. But on receiving it, I have doubts. I might consider it to be an Edmontosaurus vert. It is not that heart shaped and thicker than a Ceratopsian I figure. What are your thoughts? Dimensions: 12,5cm (h), 9cm (w), 7cm (d) - weight +/- 700 grams More pics needed? Thank you! Edited April 6, 2021 by charlie3425 'It was life, Jim. But not as we know it.'

jpc Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 It does look more hadrosaurian than ceratopsian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dank je wel, my Lord Enig idee welke soort dit zou kunnen zijn? Meer info dan dat hij uit Hell Creek komt heb ik helaas niet.. Edited April 7, 2021 by charlie3425 'It was life, Jim.

LordTrilobite Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Yeah, the only hadrosaur species that's been described is Edmontosaurus annectens. But there have been some rare hints that there might also have been a lambeosaurine hadrosaur in the area. But if it's hardosaur from Hell Creek 99.9% sure that it's Edmontosaurus annectens.

Right, I'll go for 99.9% then. Thanx for the info. This is a superb forum. I was tipped to come here on fossiel.net 'It was life, Jim. But not as we know it.'
