Troodon Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 On the surface it does not look like one. Need better photos, straight in photos: sides and ends no obtuse angles or hands and size. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tthe seller says the size is 2.5 inches but that’s about it no diameters, any idea what it could be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Great thats all the measurement I needed. When you get it please provide me the photos. Might be Ceratopsian with that round end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanotyrannus35 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I agree with @Troodon. The end of the vertebra is circular, as opposed to the more square edges of a hadrosaur vertebra Enthusiastic Fossil Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Thanks I wanted to make sure since centrums are very difficult to diagnose. I think what you have is a dorsal of a ornithischian either Thescelosaurus or Pachycephalosaurus most likely the former. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would the best way to label it be just (dorsal vertebrae from a ornithischians sp) and the locality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
