pRoDiUeS Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I found this on the bank of the Red Deer River in Alberta Canada. I have no idea what it's from. I have never found a fossilized bone before. Does anyone have any ideas? Not sure if it could be from a Dinosaur or a mammal like a young mammoth or something. I would love to get some ideas on this one. I am willing to answer any questions or take new photos if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
facehugger Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Not an expert, but the cross section makes me think is dino/reptilian... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a limb bone from a herbivore So based on your info. I found that according to Museum curator François Therrien " When you walk in the badlands of southern Alberta when you find dinosaur bones, nine times out of 10 it will be from a duck-billed dinosaur,” when I searched i found a dinosaur from the late Cretaceous called a Hadrosaur. It was a duck billed dinosaur that is found in alberta. Part of its lower leg bone looks similar to the bone I have. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Hard to say with just a partial bone, there are also lots of ceratopsian in those deposits. Next time you are in Drumheller take it to the Tyrrell and see what they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
