garyc Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 These are a couple of bones my son and I dug up off the Brazos. Any help w/ id's is appreciated. The first pic looks like a very large vertebral body. The rest of the pics are of a second piece which looks like part of a shell. Hopefully the pics will show a slight suture line right down the middle of the piece and you can make out the curve of the shell. My son will post a few pics of the vert that he has.

Cris Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I think Dan's ID of Hesperotestudo on the second piece is pretty good...Looks like it to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyc Posted December 28, 2012 Author Share Posted December 28, 2012 I'm thinking probiscidean on the vert, based on size and another pic of one I saw on the forum. Anyone else want to join me on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cris Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Gary, Now that you mention it, It does look very similar to probiscidean verts that I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
