Seanrad09 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Found this three years back in the Lance Formation. About 50 miles out of Newcastle, WY on a dig trip. Going through some bones I haven’t tried to ID. Any suggestions on this one? It has nice bone surface in a few spots, but isn’t familiar to me.

jpc Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 from what I see here, this is part of the orbit of a ceratopsian. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I thought as well, but I was thrown off by the spike that kind of looks like an epoccipital. I’m curious if others agree with our thoughts as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I agree it looks Ceratopsian. I had the same issue when I first looked at it. There are lots of variations in these skulls. Might be part of the jugal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
