Smaller Dinosaur Vertebrae ID Judith River Formation Montana


CEP

Recommended Posts

These are a couple smaller vertebrae and a bone I found on the Judith River Formation, I was hoping to get an opinion on what dinosaur they would be from. Thanks.

*not an expert*
The first 2 verts remind me a lot of Edmontosaurus caudal (likely distal caudal) verts. The 3rd vert is also likely a caudal, but I havent seen that profile before so I cant guess at its species.

 

The last one looks like the end of either a tib/fib or radius/ulna.

Can I see a side view of small vertebra.  Avoid oblique images they do not help.  Think its a hadrosaurid.

 

Your first item does not look like a vertebra, might be a metatarsal.   On you photos oblique angles do not work for identification.  Take straight in photos of all sides.

Sorry, I knew that but haven't posted in a while and forgot. Do these work?
