Hey all .. what do you guys make of this partial bone?

[Spinosaurus]

[Baryonyx]

This looks really strange. Did you find it?

[Auspex]

It's BIG!

[LordTrilobite]

As I already said over mail, I've got no clue.

It seems to be symmetrical, but I can't think of anything with this shape, let alone this big.

 

Edit: Sauropod dorsal spine maybe?

[Troodon]

Odd partial bone.  Sauropod? part of ilium separated from Sacrum?

Hello Dries,

 

I think I bought this bone or a similar one from you in Ede. It's quite interesting as it consists of, what I think are, pneumatic chambers. 

 

Regards,

Neural spine of Carcharodontosaurus?

That looks very big. I agree that it does look like a neural spine with a huge attachment for for the ligaments that hold the vertebrae together on the neural spines. But I think that looks like it might be too massive for a theropod. Sauropod neural spine?

Looks pretty similar to my Rebbachisaurus vertebra

You're probably right about Rebbachisaurus but then:

I agree the abovementioned one looks like a neural spine. But the morphology does not fit with the fossil of the topic starter (which I suspect is now in my possession). He told me it was probably a pelvic bone. Could be but I find it difficult to see. Can post more pictures later.

 

BTW 

that vertebra is huge...
