Sergiorex Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I was wondering if anyone can verify the descriptions match the fossils. Second one is a lance creek formation fossil, they believe it to be a partial triceratops skull, it looks like a partial skull but not those of a triceratop?

Troodon Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 First the seller needs to learn how to spell. It's vertebra for one and vertebrae for more than one. Would like to see photos of all sides, out of the box and its size. Is the centrum hollow? The Lance specimen, hard to say might be part of a vertebra.

Sergiorex Posted August 18, 2022 Author Share Posted August 18, 2022 Yeah I think it’s hollow, do you think it’s a raptor vertebrae or its unidentifiable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Thanks, what size? Leaning towards a Struthiomimus so no not a raptor just theropod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuMert Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Not sure about the ID, but as to the picture - wasn't Oviraptor covered in feathers? My sites & reports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgegouvas Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 One thing to check is if it as hollow at start, or was the marrow dissolved etc. out over years.All naturally hollow bones are bird bones, Never seen marrow at all in bird bones, from a sparrow to the terror bird.

Troodon Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Seeing the images, this vertebra most likely had a honeycomb type core that did not preserve well after it was broken Was able to this similar example of an Ornithomimid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
