Any guesses folks? Found in the same Locations as my past 'Dino fossils Posts'.
This one is about 4" across the middle and 2" thick...seems almost too flat for a backbone..that's why I'm guessing a tail-disc?

It definitely looks like a vertebrae of some kind. It is a little too worn to come up with a good I.d. If I could ask you where you found it, we could perhaps narrow it down to a possible candidate.
 
That is a Very Nice find! Congratulations! I have posted this one before, but was hoping it was okay to repost.

Hello Ninjafossils.
Exact same area as the femur 'knuckle' we discussed earlier in my other Dino post..was where I discovered it.
Thanks again

Very nice old digger!
Any info on it?
TJE.
 
I'm afraid it's a little too worn to make a proper i.d. However, it does have a slight "plesiosaur" look to it.
 
Ha!! ;) Like It!. Been there..Done that too :icon_thumleft::icon_thumright:
 
Hello fellow 'Hunter's', just did some serious research (back in 'My' old stompin grounds in N. Alberta) from where one of my earlier collections about 20-30 yrs ago where discovered (a few pics already here on T/N)...'Things are really happening there now since ..with more major fossil discovery's all these years later' About time the significance has been recognized!! They've been building and are about to open a brand new Alberta museum, so think I'll take more pics for here..of my entire Mammal, Dino bone & sea-life fossils collection from that 'very' area, then contact their office to help them out and offer it to them. :)

Thanks again to everyone for their knowledge and help.

TJE
