I got this a year or so ago, but this was bought as, possibly an ankylosaurian from the Woodbine Formation at Dallas Fort Worth Airport, Texas, USA. It is in pretty rough shape, so I don't expect the best results, but I'm hoping it is an indet. narrowed down to at least Ankylosauria. It looked like it could be a Nodosaurid indet. based on shape. A high chance of it being a complete bust, but I didn't spend much on it so it I figured it was worth the risk for a rare locale. Forgot to take a picture with a measurement, but it's roughly 4.5mm tall.

Hi everyone, Notice: im italian, so understand my errors So this is a dinosaur bone that, after one year of studying it, i never understand the species or the family of it. I buy it in Italy like two years ago, and in the old Times i was sure it cames from a Theropod Vertebrae from Morocco, Kem Kem Beds (like the seller said). After 5 months of studying, i have contacted Cristiano Dal Sasso ( the one who have discovered the first dinosaur of Italy and other ones) and he said that i it was probably a toe bone from an ornitischian one. After studying, it’s technically impossible to be an Ornitischian and for three reasons: 1. In Kem Kem nobody have never found an Ornitischian dinosaur before, so if i am the first person to found this specimen, technically i have a new species of erbivore of Kem Kem 2. The Brownish color of the bone isn’t a characteristic of the Kem Kem beds, the Kem Kem ones are very red, and they have a rusty texture on it. This brownish color remembers me the Hell Creek ones 3. It’s a toe bone, and not like Cristiano dal Sasso said, this toe bone is not similar to a toe piece of an herbivore/hadrosaur, is very small and very short to all the erbivores we know (6,4 cm in length, 4,9 cm wide and 5,1 in height) So now i will give you the bone,i will apprecciate everyone opinion, Thank you, TheItalianPaleo
