A skull--Jeholosaurus?

[FF7_Yuffie]

Hello,

 

I have been offered a skull--from Ganzhou. Am I correct in that it is a Jeholosaurus skull? Or at least that it is an ornithopod. I checked photos and the overall blunt shape looks similar to Jeholosaurus.

 

I will likely have other photos soon. It also comes with some crushed/badly conditioned bones. Seller himself is unsure of the species.

 

I do see though multiple different skull shapes online which are labelled Jeholosaurus---ones with more elongated snouts, ones with this stubby snouts. 

 

Thanks for the help.

What size is the skull what is the formation? Height of the jaw is too big for it to be jeholosaurus

Nanxiong

 

And I just saw Jeholosaurus isnt from there. A genuine surprise, ive been thinking it was from Ganzhou/Nanxiong all along but its from Yixian.

 

There arent any small ornithopods describef from Nanxiong from what I can tell (really thought Jeholo was)

 

I asked for measurements along with my extra photo request.

I edited my post and said its not Jeholosaurus jaw shape is wrong

Like to get a sharp closeup of the teeth.   Not much in the way of herbivores are described from there

Late Maastrichtian could be an undescribed ornithopod

Yes, its mainly Oviraptorids. Microhadrosaurus is one of the few--but skull shape is completely wrong. There is species crossover with Quipa Foemation, but not many from there either

 

Teeth is a photo I requested. Ill post when they come.

The teeth look like lizard teeth. Maybe iguana?

I didnt consider lizard. I had a look, there are two described from there-- Chianghsia which has recurved teeth and Tianyusaurus-- snout looks longer and its top teeth are extremely smsll.

 

But it could be an undescribed one. Still waiting on extra pics.

A few more pics--not one of the teeth yet. The language barrier together with my patchy Chinese and going through translators to different people makes getting the photos I need difficult--basically my message goes to supplier, who then translates and passes onto the collector, who then relays the info back to the supplier, who translatrs and passes it back to me. So what exactly I need can easily get lost in translation--and it's a slower process. 

 

 

 

 

 

I'll post the three updated ones, and add when I get a photo of just the teeth.

Finally got some pics. Not as good or close as hoped. But hope they shed some light.

 

It looks a bit lizard to me now.
