GeschWhat Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Just got back from a dig in the Hell Creek formation. Everything from Hadrosaur, ray teeth, champsosaur verts, gar scales, turtle, ceratopsian frill and theropod teeth were in the immediate area of this bone. We will be heading to the lab in the morning to begin prep, but I was just wondering if any of you seasoned experts might have any idea what this is. Everything was pretty jumbled and most of the bone in the area we were digging was pretty degraded (more like coffee grounds), but this was one of the few in decent shape that seemed to be diagnostic. I will post better pics once it is prepped. Lori www.areallycrappystory.com/fossils www.facebook.com/fossilpoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 Might be a rib head... Looking forward to seeing the final prepped piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeschWhat Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 Here are the photos after it was prepped. It was in pretty rough shape. Any chance it could be a jaw fragment?

Troodon Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Could be a piece of skull element from a hadrosaur. Don't see jaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 For me looks like a Ceratopsian horn fragment(median longitudinal section),but I`m not an expert...
