PrehistoricNick Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Another piece from the collection at work: All I've been told is that it was donated to us by a customer at a show in Helena, Montana. Its described as a Hadrosaur pubis. It's clearly seen some restoration work at some point, with many fractures mended together. Its in two pieces currently, which is how it was when I came on the show. One side is gently cambered, the other side is almost unnaturally flat, which is why a pubis bone makes sense to me. It was at one point called a Tyrannosaur scapula, but I'm not clear if that was actually what the donor called it before we decided it was a pubis, or if a former employee was calling it that to make it seem sexier.

LordTrilobite Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 It's very fragmentary. But yes, hadrosaur pubis certainly fits. And I don't think Tyrannosaur scapula fits at all. It seems too thin in the middle and fans out too much at both ends. Tyrannosaur scapulae are more slender than this. I think hadrosaur pubis is a fine ID for this bone. Here's an partial example of a hadrosaur pubis from my collection for reference. 1 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
