Carcharodontosaurus Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Hi. I've just received this Kem Kem huge partial theropod vertebra (just the process) and I just wanted to know whether it's possible to ID? Was told Spinosaurid is likely but could also be Carch. Thanks in advance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jikohr Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Nice one! I'd say Spinosaurid but we should wait and see what the experts think. I posted a similar one earlier this year and the consensus was Spinosaurid. I originally thought it was Sauropod because it was so big. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordTrilobite Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Pretty sure that's Spinosaurid. A dorsal neural arch. Those asymmetric ridges on one of the sides of the neural spine I think those are specific to spinosaurids. 2 1 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
