Hi there, I am new. As a matter of fact, I am new to collecting 'dinosaur' fossils.

I bought a piece of a fossilized limb from Ebay, and I need help with identifying it. The pics were taken by the seller, and when it arrives soon, I will take better pics! :)

It's a fossils of a crocodile from the Cretaceous period. I need help identifying what animal it came from and what limb is it?

Here's some information on the crocodylomorphs species from there... I don't know enough to speculate as to what bone it specifically is and who it would belong to. Hopefully someone else can offer better details for you.
