jikohr Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Hi everyone! Here's another odd one from a wholesale batch. It's from the Hell Creek Formation of Powder River County. I believe it's the tip of a Ceratopsian beak and am hoping for confirmation. It measures 7.4 cm. What do you all think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahnmut Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Hi, I am really no expert here, but it looks quite slender for a beak? Why not a horn fragment? Curious to read what the experts say.

Kohler Palaeontology Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 I would say It's more likely a horn fragment, but I am no expert on ceratopsians. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 As a third non expert I would only add that this really calls for the experience of an expert. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best regards, J Why not a horn fragment? Because I overthought it, got exited when I saw something else in it, and that's probably exactly what it is. Thanks for the input everyone!
