Strepsodus Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Hi. I have decided to start collecting dinosaur fossils from as many UK locations as possible. After doing research on the Internet I understand how to tell the difference between dinosaur and non dinosaur bones but can anyone suggest any books which explain the difference between the bones of each type of dinosaur, such as Theropods and Sauropods? Thanks, Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 The best way to tell the difference between a theropod bone and all others is that they are hollow and thin walled. The book Dinosauria second edition is a great source of information covering all families of dinosaurs The Dinosauria David B. Weishampel (Editor), Peter Dodson (Editor),Halszka Osmólska (Editor) If you collect locally these are the two best books 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ptychodus04 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I second @Troodon on the recommendation of Weishampel et. al. as it is a very useful tome when it comes to dinosaur anatomy. I have used it heavily when identifying individual bones from my area.
