JustPlainPetrified Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I just returned from a two day trip into Southern Alberta and found a few bones in an area north of Dinosaur Provincial Park. I think one is a vertebrae and the other a part of a larger bone. I have no idea what kind of dinosaur they may have come from. Just lots of fun hiking around the badlands in 35C heat.

Troodon Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Can you take some additional views of the caudal (tail) vertebra but looks like a hadrosaur but could be ceratopsian. The bone fragment is just that a fragment and will be difficult to ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustPlainPetrified Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 Here are four more photos. These fossils have come from the Belly River Group formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I don't think it is hadrosaur...not 'heart'shaped' enough on the end on view; too round. I would say ceratopsian tailbone. The other bone is what we call a Chunkosaurus. Or scraposaur, or other less family-friendly names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Yep not square enough to be hadro would agree ceratopsian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
