Haravex Posted October 13, 2017 Author Share Posted October 13, 2017 I'm hoping it's not croc but nevermind, also the impression was about 5 km away from Kem kem on road with lots of other rocks there had been a lot of rain the previous week before.

Troodon Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Claws definitely not dinosaurian possibly croc like jpc described but I would lean more toward turtle. Phalanx also does not look dinosaurian, reptilian. The single Claw I doubt it's dinosaurian but no idea too what critter. Beak could be pterosaur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesuslover340 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Not really sure what that is, but it doesn't look like a croc skull.

Troodon Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Vertebrae both would lean toward Croc. definitely not dinosaurian Skull is very interesting, is the dentary attached, cannot see a jaw. Any teeth visible or alveoli visible. Size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haravex Posted October 14, 2017 Author Share Posted October 14, 2017 I did not buy this piece out of fear of buying something that ..well anyway no there was no dentry that is the only piece and was about 25cm long by about half that wide.

Looks like the front. 3 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 There is nothing diagnostic cannot be sure what it's from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haravex Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 Ok I have looked around again an now cannot find it but at one point I believe it was you troodon or maybe lt who posted a image from a journal article showing the density of cross section of theropods and to me this looked similar to spinosaurid family as the centre has a honey comb structure, which possibly might be hard to see.

LordTrilobite Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Spinosaurus has pretty dense bones unlike most Theropods. But crocs also have dense bones. A chunk like this can probably not be properly identified as it lacks most diagnostic features. 1 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I see lots and lots of bits like this. Many sellers claim them to be Spinosaurus, but on cross examining they don't know. Could be a number of things. No way of telling just by looking. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haravex Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 That's cool at least now I know didn't realise croc bones could be also partial hollow this helps with my knowledge so thank you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
