jpc Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) Howdy from wyoming. The person selling this stuff needs to do a bit more homework. Tough call on the first one but i see no reason (from the photos) to ID it beyond chunkosaur. The second one looks like a thescelisaurus vertebra based on the wrinkle along the edge seen in the first photo. For it and the third bone… how big are they. We need a scale bar of somf sort. The third one does indeed look like little hadrosaur fingertip. edit: i looked at the first bone again and i think isee blood vein impressions. Can you take pictures with low angle lighting so cann see the texture better. Edited November 9, 2022 by jpc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AranHao Posted November 9, 2022 Author Share Posted November 9, 2022 @jpcNice to meet you.Thanks for you help.I looked through the past chat records, and the seller said that the first one was a small piece of Triceratops shield, and the second one was the tail vertebra of Triceratops. If not, maybe I want to know who it belongs to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AranHao Posted November 9, 2022 Author Share Posted November 9, 2022 The preservation is too bright. It's a little difficult to take photos of details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
