Carcharodonotsaurus vert?

[Captcrunch227]

Hey y'all I've been wanting to add a Carcharodontosaurus bone to my traveling education program. I found this on the favorite auction site. I still don't seem to have a great grasp of vertebrae yet and I know my limitations so I'm here to ask for help. I appreciate any and all help. Thanks y'all.

I would lean more towards this being crocodilian

I would personally actually lean more towards dinosaur. Mainly due to the thin walls.

I don't see this being Carcharodontosaurid though.

My thoughts were based on the short and wide transverse processes.  I don't believe you see the twists and distal flare outs of those processes in theropods they tend to be flatter.

And I don't think you see this degree of pneumatisisation in crocs.
