Welsh Wizard Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Hi I purchased this partial sauropod vertebrae and I’m in the process of glueing it back together. It’s from Brighstone Bay, Isle of Wight and it’s early Cretaceous. The centrum diameter is approximately 6 inches and I’m guessing but the neural spine looks like it would’ve been about 12 inches tall. Does anyone have any suggestions for an ID. Thanks Nick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welsh Wizard Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 Hi I've been doing a bit of research and it’s possibly from a Rebbachisaurid sauropod. Nick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Hard to tell from just a side photo. The tall but thin profile does look a bit like sauropod. 1 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Kmiecik Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Don't know how I missed this! Looks like just about everyone else did too. Let us know how the prep goes. 1 Mark.
