Whose bone is it?

[theropod]

This game is basically derived from the "whose skull is it"-game on Carnivora, which I think is a good way of practising recognition of anatomy, but you can post other body parts as well if you think they are suitable. We will see how this works out, if it doesn't, we can revert to posting only skulls.
In order to make it challenging but possible to find out what they are, here are the rules:

-Single ribs, teeth or phalanges are forbidden, as well as complete skeletons, and vertebrae should only be used if they they have obvious traits (eg. Apatosaurus cervicals) allowing identification
It is in the poster's responsibility to gauge whether it is realistically possible but not too easy to classify the taxon based on what is shown. Things that are usually good to post are skulls, limb girdles or parts of fore-or hindlimb
-No other hints than the picture of the structure in question shall be given. Posts containing images shall not be quoted to prevent seeing the filenames.
Please stick to this rule so that the game remains suspenseful. I think all my fellow members here are capable of doing so.
-When a user correctly guesses/finds out what animal the bone belongs to, he/she can post the next picture.

I whish you a lot of fun!

Looks like a racoon dog

Some small ornithischian. Hypsilophodon ?

[stomatopod]

LACM 115747.

Does it have a name yet? (pun intended, it took over 30 years to descrine it)

[Fragillimus335]

Fruitadens

I knew stomatopod was going to be good at this...

Correct!
Ok, it's your turn of posting a picture.

Sorry for beings somewhat late, cloudflare hates me.

I am going to post a pic this weekend, as the specimen in question first needs to be prepared.
In order to not let this thread die, I propose to let someone else have his turn first.

Since a lot of anatomy afficiandos are congregated, I think I can post a harder one:



Interested If someone can solve it.

[theropod]

Hmm, could those be otholithes? Just guessing, I don't really have a clue.

Coral fragments?

[theropod]

See the thread's title!

But yeah, I could have imagined that otherwise. Tough I wouldn't think someone would make an official-looking photograph of such tiny structures if they were simple coral fragments.

[Derdadort]

Maybe different kinds of ossicles?

Nope. This is from a single genus. (Species actually)
