Brevicollis Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 (edited) Hello, I saw this Struthiomimus foot on auction today, and wanted to ask If theres some restorations on it. The description says that its real and from one specimen. It looks very real to me, but i'm not sure, because of the irregular number of the toe bones. Maybe some of them are missing. But i'm not an expert, maybe someone knows it better. It was found in the two medicine formation, Montana. Its about 24cm or 8 Inch in length. Edited February 6 by Brevicolis Are good signatures really that important ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daves64 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 (edited) I'd say those bones are not from the same creature. Color & preservation is too varied. May not even be same species, but that's for others to determine. At least that's my opinion. I could be wrong.

musicnfossils Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 The bones are real, definitely composite. Correct number of toe bones are there. Not sure how they decided on a species when ornithomimid toe bones are identical. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
