svcgoat Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Hello does this look like ankylosaur armor? Seller says it's from Hell Creek @jpc @Dino Dad 81 @hadrosauridae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadrosauridae Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I havent handled enough to be able to say with confidence, yes or no. My opinion is that it probably is, but don't take that as a final answer. 1 "There is no shortage of fossils.

Daze Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Yes, although it doesn't have the characteristic "ridge" it's definitely an Ankylosaurid osteoderm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does not have the ridge indicate it comes from a different part of the body? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, I have seen other Ankylosaurid osteoderms without the ridge but I'm not sure of the differences in morphology related to other parts of the body. Maybe others have more knowledge on that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
