patrickhudson Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 (edited) Found in hill county Montana yesterday. I believe it’s a lower ceratopsian beak, but I just wanted to make sure (and don’t feel bad telling me if it’s not). It was on a hill surrounded by literally hundreds of pieces of frill. I hope it’s a beak. I’ve always wanted to find a horn, but up in the JRF where we look they’re always in ten thousand pieces- a beak would probably make me just as happy thanks for any help. -if it is a beak would this size make it a juvenile or are ceratopsian just smaller in the JRF? the other pic was one of the pieces of frill that looked a lot like a peripheral part of the frill - don’t know what it’s called. Thoughts? Edited September 12 by patrickhudson Added a question 2 Link to post Share on other sites
trilobites_are_awesome Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 It look's like it is the right shape I don't know for sure Link to post Share on other sites
Daze Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Could it be that they're both eppocipitals, frill ornaments? The first one could be of an adult which are longer and flattened. And the second one of a juvenile, which are smaller and pointy (with the tip broken off). Not sure though, I'm sure other people here are more knowledgeable. Link to post Share on other sites

jpc Posted Wednesday at 12:31 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 12:31 AM the first piece is a piece of the rostral bone of a ceratopsian. Link to post Share on other sites
