Crazyhen Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 This is found at Yunnan with Keichousaurus. Is it a rib bone of a Triassic marine reptile? It looks a bit too "curved" to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJB Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 I certainly dont know what it is, but prep down and find out. Sure looks interesting. RB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sjfriend Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Cool piece! while we wait to find out what's under there. Without prepping it I have no idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahnmut Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Hi, just to give my subjective impression as an answer to your question, although it looks a little more curved than the average rib, to me it seems perfectly plausible as a rib.

pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Much like the rest I agree that it's impossible to say without further preparing the specimen out. However, the shape wouldn't necessarily be problematic for it indeed proving to be a rib... 1 'There's nothing like millions of years of really frustrating trial and error to give a species moral fibre and, in some cases, backbone' -- Terry Pratchett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
