kenoakee Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 hello fossil people can anyone tellme what i have here??...it comes from d.p.f. (dinosaur park formation) in southern alberta ...my best guess if i was to HAZARD one is a vertebrate from a amphibian (possibly a frog or a salamander) but im just not sure. any help or thoughts would be great thanks i will also post more pics One of the great charms of paleontology is that one never knows what will turn up where, or who will find it."

Auspex Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Whatever it's from, with one articulation surface on one end and two on the other, it pretty much has to be pelvic, and from a tailless critter at that..

Guest Nicholas Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I agree with auspex, about it being pelvic and tailless. I would also assume amphibian I'm thinking frog. http://www.infovisual.info/02/028_en.html That looks similar to me, but similar isn't satisfactory in my research.

grampa dino Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Hey Guy Would you believe it's an Atlas Centerior of a Salamander ( It's the vert. just after the skull.) I have seen your face book photos, you should post some in your own gallary on the Fossil Form ,you have some nice stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
