I found this Fossil a few weeks ago in Casper Wyoming. I dont have the exact measurments, but if i had to guess i would say that the central part of the fossil was 12 inches wide by 8 inches deep. The plate that extends from it is also about 10 inches wide and 4 inches deep.It probably weighs about 30 lbs. My guess is that it is a vertebrae. Can anyone help?
