AranHao Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 In fact, I found that bones are much more difficult to identify than teeth. I regret buying dinosaur bones. I have three materials here for you to give some suggestions. I hope to get the correct identification. After all, it's no good to cheat yourself. Thank you for any comments (The following information is the only one I know. There is always no location ) Hadrosaurs vertebral column From Judith River FM Montana Spinosaurus From Kemkem Group Camptosaurus(Phalanges?) Jurassic Age Morrison FM Wyoming Link to post Share on other sites
Troodon Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 When taking pictures of bones for identification I need straight in images of the sides, bottom and ends. No obtuse/angle photos. So will need those for the vertebrae The Morrison toe bone looks like it's from an Ornithopod possibly Camptosaurus. Link to post Share on other sites
AranHao Posted November 11, 2022 Author Share Posted November 11, 2022 @TroodonThanks for the response,I added new photos Link to post Share on other sites
Troodon Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Thank you for the additional photos, perfect. First I dont think its a hadrosaur. The shape of the ends are all wrong as well as the texture of the sides. Second It's not Spinosaurid looks more marine like a plesiosaur @LordTrilobiteany thoughts on these two?

LordTrilobite Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 1 Agree, not hadrosaur. It's a distal caudal vert. Could be ceratopsian maybe? 2 Absolutely not Spinosaurus. Like Troodon said, likely plesiosaur. It's also not from Kem Kem but from the phosphate beds in Morocco. The colours are quite distinct. Nice vert though. 3 The phalanx does look like it might be from an ornithopod. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

AranHao Posted November 12, 2022 Author Share Posted November 12, 2022 @TroodonI found this figure. Can it be D, E, F?(flat round shape) I understand that ceratopsian are typically round, so what makes you recognize them as thescelosaurus? Is it because of its position?Haha, because I think it is round enough Link to post Share on other sites
Troodon Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Grooves are present on the perimeter of both inside edges of the centrum. That is typical of Thescelosaurus and not seen on ceratopsian.. The centrum is also not round, its dorsal surface from side to side is fairly flat. These are subtle differences but important. Here is a photo of Thescelosaurus vertebrae. You can see the grooves Link to post Share on other sites
