Bozark Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Hell all, This one's got me and my buddies stumped. We were thinking hadrosaur quadrate till we got it prepped out more, no we aren't so sure. Any ideas? Picked up from Hell Creek land in South Dakota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 @Troodon will probably be able to help. There's something oddly familiar about the shape, but I can't put my finger on it... “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raggedy Man Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Looks more like the right side of a pelvic girdle. 1 ...I'm back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, tenontosaurus maybe? “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 It's not Tenontosaurus if it's from Hell Creek formation. The only Hadrosauriod there is Edmontosaurus. And Tenontosaurus is Early Cretaceous. Hell Creek is late Maastrichtian. There seems to be some symmetry. That would rule out a quadrate bone. Besides, it doesn't really seem to match the quadrate of Edmontosaurus. Depending on which parts are broken, it might fit with Edmontosaurus ischium. 3 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bozark Posted July 29, 2017 Author Share Posted July 29, 2017 It's certainly possible is a piece of a pelvic element. It was found in association with a few teeth and neck verts, but nothing like articulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hxmendoza Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Can you post several more angles? Not saying that it is, but it somewhat reminds me of a Tyrannosaurus mid-distal caudal chevron. Probably isn't, but the shape is reminiscent of one, but it is hard to tell what it could be from the pictures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
