Amazing Relics Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 This hollow bone was found in Carter County, Mt in the Hell Creek. The piece measures almost exactly 10”. Any idea what it is and/or what it belongs to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Not much to go with since the diagnostic ends are missing . Lean toward it being a tibia of a theropod. Could be Tyrannosaurid like Nanotyrannus but there are other candidates. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flx Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 My colleague owns an Anzu tibia that looks quite similar to the pictures you posted. Maybe he can send me some images for comparison. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 I agree with theropod tibia. But I would state it more strongly than just leaning towards it. I would say this is absolutely a left tibia proximal fragment. The partial end you have here would be part of the knee. I would agree that this is likely theropod. When I was at BHI last year I took a bunch of reference photos. it might be the angle but it's hard to tell if Anzu is a match. But this Struthiomimus seems like a pretty exact match. This at least looks like it confirms that you've got a left proximal tibia end, even though the animal is at a weird angle. It has it's right leg up and we're looking at the inside of the left leg on the left side of the photo. So I would say this could be a pretty strong candidate. 1 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Here is Anzu. I dont think its one. The above paper and replica below are the same. Fibula is the way 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
