Tom Carmichael Posted November 3, 2021 Author Share Posted November 3, 2021 Tim - Not sure but I may have an answer tomorrow when I go and visit the person who sold it to me. If he can provide the details, I will post them. Thank you. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Thanks, Tom. Just FYI - Vertebra is singular vertebrae is plural.

Troodon Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Can you also post a photo of the opposing side? The top portion looks like its reattached, looks odd. Can you find out from the seller what was done? Initially looks like a Tyrannosaurid vertebra but need that location information. Thanks Also need the formation it was found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Carmichael Posted November 3, 2021 Author Share Posted November 3, 2021 Here are two more photos. One is the opposing side that you are asking for. Thank you very much. I will try to get location information this afternoon and will post it after I visit the person who sold it to me. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpc Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 certainly a theropod based on the immensely concave centrum, but who or from where.... Hard to say. And troodon's observation about possible mismatched pieces is a good point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Carmichael Posted November 3, 2021 Author Share Posted November 3, 2021 All - Thank you for your input. Unfortunately the person who sold it to me had it for decades and cannot remember where it is from :( I do appreciate all of your help.
