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.

from what I see here, this is part of the orbit of a ceratopsian.  

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

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.
