Howdy all,

 

I'm interested in this foot bone from the Hell Creek Formation which the seller says is Edmontosaurus. Is this the case?

Looks similar to another Edmontosaurus foot bone I have in my collection.

did the seller say that it is HALF of an Edmontosaurus foot bone.  Cuz, if not, he's only telling half the story.   : )

 

Hadrosaur and ceratopsian toe bones are pretty similar, and I can't say which this might be.

Yeah, they did say that. My bad, forgot to mention.

 

I've done some comparing, and the sides of ceratopsian bones appear more "folded" which is the only way I could describe them. They also seem to be flatter.

Just recieved a message from the seller. It was found associated with several edmontosaurus vertebrae and other assorted bones, but, according to the seller, it wasn't enough to sell together, so they decided to sell everything separately.
