hadrosauridae Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) I cant help with species ID on your femur but I think you have a good guess. However, you are wrong about its fossilization. That look VERY mineralized, and the fact you mention its weight is another indicator. As for your vert, its a Bison cervical. Edit- Thats not a femur either. Guess would be a tibia Edited January 21, 2023 by hadrosauridae "There is no shortage of fossils.

JohnJ Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 1 hour ago, Callahan said: wonder what tibia it is ? It is a radius, not a tibia. Many mammal tibias are triangular in cross section. Radii are "D" shaped in cross section. 2 1 The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
