Dinosaur bone ID?

[Bernardito]

I was recently been given what I assume to be a piece of dinosaur bone. I am not entirely certain. I have attached some photographs that I hope will suffice to help identify what this bone might be.

 

Thanks!

Any idea on where it was collected?

I can be wrong, but it looks like turtle.

coco is right. This is a piece of fossilized turtle shell.  From the midline of the shell.  The pattern seen on the fourth picture is a giveaway.

Indeed. As mentioned this is a piece of turtle carapace--specifically the first bone from behind the head which is called the 'nuchal'.

 

 

 

Cheers.

Thank you all for this identification! A piece of turtle shell — very interesting! A fine addition as a newbie, I’d say.

A nice way to start a collection. Are there any fossil collecting sites in Sweden?

 

 

Cheers.
