Can you give a location and the formation it is from?

I was hiking north of dumheller. Was sticking out about 2/3 up the mound. Approx 60 ft up from the valley. I figured it would be impossible to id but the unusual flat shape the t's off made me think possibly a pelvic bone.

Definitely a bone, what type I couldn't tell you.

Happy hunting,

Guess would be from an ornithiscian like a hadrosaur and possibly like you suggest from the pelvic area but could also be a scapula.

I just googled an image of a hadrosaur looks a lot like part of the top pelvis on this image.

It may even not be as old as dinosaurs? Perhaps Ice age?

It's a section of Ornithischian rib. The expanding area just prior to the tuberculum and capitulum. You find that shelf in that area. Can't say if Hadrosaur or Ceratopsian. Though I would lean Hadrosaur.
