MHG111 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Hello, I have been wondering about this dinosaur bone for quite some time now, but have not known what type of bone it is and what it is from. I have heard that fragmentary bones are extremely difficult to impossible to identify, but I thought because of how it looks someone might be able to. I purchased it from a website that was selling dinosaur bones in bags, they were labeled as being from USA, of Cretaceous age and being from a sauropod (however I do not think that last one is correct, because there was a triceratops frill fragment in one). Other than that I do not know anything else. Thanks to anyone who may be able to help. There are two more photos of the bone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Definitely not from a sauropod but it's too small of a fragment to say much about it. Could be a rib fragment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I agree with troodon. For one thing, there are very few Cretaceous sauropod site in North America. Not sure how big this piece is, but it is nondescript enough to be officially called a chunkosaur. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHG111 Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 The bone is about an inch long or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 that's what I thought... Chunkosaur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
