Please help identify potential fossil probably from Southern Nevada. Pelvic bone?
maximiliano posted a topic in Fossil ID
This specimen is about 60 pounds and 19 x 17 x 6 inches. It has what look like tubular areas on one side, and is smooth on the other sides. Although at first glance it may look like a rock, please see other specimens from Nevada that look similar with white mineralization, etc. It is smooth on all sides except where broken. It flares up and down in opposite directions on each end. Possible Suspects: 7 Dinosaurs That Lived in Nevada (And Where to See Fossils Today) One opinion: Looks like a chunk of Morrison dinosaur pelvis..particularly ilium. The busy side is the inner surface where the sacrum fits on, big hole for femur head. Size-wise, Allosaurus, Stegosaurus" Wish the photos were in color, but one looks like the same dark stone with white mineral streaks: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Right-lateral-view-of-pubic-foot-of-Allosaurus-AMNH-813-Ventral-view-of-pubic_fig1_268274412- 4 replies

Hello fellow forum members, some time ago I acquired what I thought of as a theropod ilium from the kem kem . it just crossed my mind that it could be another kind of archosaur alltogether, maybe a crocodylomorph? What do you think? At the moment i can not take more pictures of it easily, but maybe one is enough? Thanks and regards, J

Hi, I'm interested in this fossil that is listed as a Theropod Ilium bone from the Kem Kem (21cm in length). I wanted to ask if there are enough diagnostic features to identify it as belonging to a theropod or does it resemble something from a crocodyliform instead? Thanks!

Found this on the beach of Amelia Island. I'm pretty confident that it is bone, but not sure what bone or what animal. Any help is appreciated.

I received this Kem Kem ilium in the post today. It's a rather nice piece, if a little nibbled and in need of quite a lot of prep. As far as I can see, it's totally original with no restoration, but one repaired crack. It was described as a juvenile spinosaurus ilium. I always take such descriptions with a very large pinch of salt. Obviously there were plenty of other dinosaurs in Kem Kem, so I suppose it could be from a fully-grown, but smaller species. I am confident that it's dinosaur and not crocodile, since croc iliums tend to be stockier, with the socket closed at one side. But I can't find any exact parallels to this one. Has anybody seen anything like it? I know I may not be able to narrow it down, but I thought I'd give it a shot.

Hi, just wanted to check if this fossil for sale is likely to be from a theropod. It is a ilium pelvic bone just under 20 inches in length. From what i can gather, theropod ilium's are wide and thin?. Thanks.

I haven't been able to place it, yet. I figure if I come across someone has familiar knowledge of bones like that, there's a much better chance of recognizing it, than someone just using pics and stuff.
