Pixpaleosky Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Hi ! I spent lot of time cleaning this bone fossil from the sticky matrix It is in a bad shape, but i think it could be interesting. It comes from continental late cretaceous. Side 1 Side 2 Top Bottom Special crack in waves Section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixpaleosky Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 Some news from Pr Buffetaut, specialist of french dinosaurs: The groove could be a suture, in which case the specimen would actually consist of two bones welded together. The part more or less rounded and flat can be reminiscent of a hinge surface. One could possibly think of a phalanx, but how to explain the presence of a suture? Unless the suture is not one and that we actually have two articulated bones, held together by matrix. Does it helps anyone for new ideas ?

Troodon Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 To rough of a specimen to make much out of it, could be a skull element. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
