Mochaccino Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Hello, I'm asking about the following bone end. It's said to be from the "Judith River Formation North of Havre, MT". Seller thinks it might be a bird bone since it's hollow but doesn't look like theropod, what do you think? @Troodon confirmed it's not dinosaur and might be turtle, is there enough to tell? And how would one make that distinction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcoSr Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Reminds me also of an anuran humerus. Below are Eocene/Oligocene anuran humeri from Nebraska that are only 3 mm to 3.5 mm. But based upon size, it is probably a turtle humerus. Marco Sr. 2 "Any day that you can fossil hunt is a great day."

Troodon Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 When you guys @MarcoSr @jpc said frog the light came on. Here is a JRF publication that supports that diagnosis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
