Ceratopsian fossil


Fossil Maniac

Recommended Posts

I got this fossil from a Wyoming in Tucson, Arizona. I was thinking it's a jugual bone from a Ceratopsian or a Hadrosaur.

At first he said that it was from Wyoming then Canada, I'm assuming it's from Wyoming because you need a disposition to legally sell dinosaur fossils collected in Canada.

I do not believe it's a jugal element.  Looks too gracile for Ceratopsian and that area of curved flange on a Edmontosaurus is relatively flat.   I think it's a skull element and lean more toward Hadrosaur than Ceratopsian.  I attached an illustration from an E. regalis ofa ectopterygoid (a - d) that you can compare against as a possibility.

I don't immediately recognize it. But I think Troodon is most likely on the right track.
