Dinosaur fossils?

Hello,

I recently acquired these two chunks from a seller in Apache Junction, Arizona. He claims that they are from Colorado, but I was not able to get a more specific location. Can anything be known about these? The seller said the larger piece looked like a vertebrae, but I have no clue. Any insight would be appreciated!

If they are fragments from Colorado it's possible they are from the Morrison Fm given the density of the bone.  But without a more specific locality hard to say.  Yes it possible they are dinosaurian

Chunkosaurus.  About as good as you can get....

 

Not to be flippant, just that although those do appear to me like dinosaur bones I have seen, there appears to be nothing diagnostic to take the ID further.

They could also be big  Eocene mammal bones, but Morrison dinosaur bones are definitely more common in CO.
