Warbreaker Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Found this in Glendive, Hell Creek formation. The ranch most commonly produces triceratops and hadrosaur, but when I looked at skeletons in a museum I couldn't seem to find a match. The first picture shows what appears to be a ball (part of a socket?) on the top back end of the bone. Any idea? Sorry the pictures aren't very descriptive- I'm a college kid and had to leave the bone at home. I didn't have the time to prep it:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flx Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 That's a pretty cool bone. Did you by chance measure the length? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warbreaker Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 I didn't, but it's probably around 3.5 feet. When I prep it I'll take some measurements^_^. It was apparently one of the better preserved bones that's come out of that ranch. Roots were growing around it, but for some reason didn't dig into it.

jpc Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Tibia, but I am not sure whose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 The bottom two pictures Look like an Edmontosaurus tibia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warbreaker Posted September 25, 2017 Author Share Posted September 25, 2017 Yup, @Troodon looked up Edmontosaurus tibia and that's exactly it. Here's one from online, it's a perfect match. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
