Arizona Rex Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Hello Forum, I picked up a few fossilized bones....two possibly complete and two partials. The gentleman I got them from could only give suggestions as to what the complete bones are - and no idea at all about the partials. I tried grouping the pictures of each together and numbering the group - hopefully this is helpful rather than not. Pic 1: possibly a dinosaur hand or foot bone Pic 2: no idea. Pic 3: possibly a horse humerus. Pic 4: no idea. Locations: Pic 1 - Fort Crittenden Formation, Pics 2 & 4 - possibly either Fort Crittenden Formation or another location in S/E Arizona Pic 3 - Jacksonville Florida. Thank you for any and all assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what the age or size is for these bones but nr.3 doesn't look very much like a horse humerus to me. For reference, here's a horse humerus from my collection.

FossilDAWG Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 @RichW9090 would certainly be able to help as he is very familiar with Arizona vertebrates. Unfortunately he hasn't been around in almost a year, but maybe we'll be lucky and he'll check in. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
