Dino bone?

Recommended Posts

While on vacation in Utah USA, a family member bought some fossils in a shop that were supposed to be dinosaur bone. Unfortunately, she has not received any further information with the documents. I got them and would like to know if the story is true. Is there anything more to say about these pieces? They go to a primary school when it comes to dino material so any bit of information would be nice for the kids. Scale in centimeters.

Looks like dino bone. Not sure it can be identified further than chunk-o-saurus.  :unsure:

Utah has one of the most diverse populations of dinosaurs in the world.  They are found in deposits from the late Triassic to late Cretaceous.   So you really need to see something diagnostic in the bones and a locality to have a chance to ID them.

I would only say the bottom one has any distinctive dino texture.  Based on blule-ish color and size, and assuming they were found in Utah, the others could be dino but could also be large Eocene mammals from the northeast part of the state, near Vernal.
