Ladies and Gents,

 

Another I.D. question for you guys. I have an I.D card with this one that claims that this is a triceratops horridus tooth with Edmontosaurus bones.

 

Thanks

The tooth looks ceratopsian but the bones can be anyone's guess. But that's an interesting piece. :)

Welcome to the forum.  First we need to know where its from, locality and formation. Looks like Lance Fm .  If its the Hell Creek or Lance Formation then what I see is a Edmontosaurus tooth (maybe 2) and possibly tendon from one.  The tooth looks Ceratopsian but there is no way to positively say its a Triceratops horridus.   There are multiple Ceratopsian in these formations and the teeth all look the same.

Hard to much else with the dim photos.
