So this is a piece of dinosaur bone from Utah USA. Unfortunately thats all that came with it. Is it possible to know any further classification of this bone? It was kinda hard to photograph the microscope, my apologies. Also if you want more pictures just ask cause i can only fit 2 here due to limitations. Thanks

Sorry, but fragmented chunks like this are generally unidentifiable. We tend to call them Chunkosaurus bones are they are just chunks without any distinguishing features.

 

Still a cool looking piece though.

Boy that cell structure is quite impressive, nice photo.  Utahs dinosaurs are quite diverse with the fossil record ranging from late Triassic to late Cretaceous.  So even more complete bones would require a very specific locality to identify
