Paleoworld-101 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Below are three bones from the ~125-million-year-old, dinosaur-rich coastline of the SW Isle of Wight: a phalanx and two vertebral centra. I have my suspicions on ID's but also wanted to hear from others. What animal do you think these are most likely from? Thanks for any input! 1) Phalanx (38 mm long x 18 mm wide x 19 mm tall at proximal end) Views in order: lateral (x2), dorsal, ventral, proximal end, distal end 2) Vertebra 1 (29 mm long x 17 mm wide x 28 mm tall) Views in order: lateral (x2), dorsal, ventral, presumed anterior end, presumed posterior end 3) Vertebra 2 (18 mm long x 10 mm wide x 9 mm tall) Views in order: lateral (x2), dorsal, ventral, presumed anterior end, presumed posterior end "In Africa, one can't help becoming caught up in the spine-chilling excitement of the hunt.
