Description

Late Triassic

Bull Canyon Formation

Guadalupe County, New Mexico, USA

Very fine little bone. 0.3 inch.

Reptile.

Here’s a tiny thigh bone end of an unidentified reptile.  One of the challenges in studying the vertebrates of the Bull Canyon Formation is that a lot of the material is screened from matrix so you get a large quantity of small, partial-complete, isolated teeth and bones.  Some of it is identifiable even with most of it being incomplete.  Given time and some articulated specimens, the fauna will become better understood.
