Chief1701 Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 (edited) Hi, All. Here's another "large" fossil I've acquired. Same origin as the others - Agadez area of the Sahara desert in Niger. Based on the feedback I got on an earlier submission, I'm wondering if this could be from a sauropod and, if so, what part of the skeleton? As you can see, there's a lot of mud on it that I haven't tried to remove yet, as I am a complete neophyte and don't know the proper way to do so. I welcome any and all guidance on that too. Thanks so much for all your replies! Rob @Haravex @LordTrilobite @jpc @Troodon @-Andy- Edited April 22, 2019 by Chief1701 needed tag links Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 No idea on this one, if the matrix "mud" is removed might have more clues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I agree that removing some more of the matrix might reveal some much needed clarity. But from just these photos it does seem like there are some thin bone walls and some possible pneumatic cavities that might indicate Sauropod. Part of a vertebra perhaps?
