3. Other than a general idea of the size

Of what left it no idea. It’s in its raw form you might be able to tell if it was a meat eater if a fragment of bone showed up. From the pictures and description it was something small and I’m thinking herbivore. There are some that are cut and polished what can give you a better idea. It’s about the size you would expect from a small dog. 3 inches.

Looking up dinosaurs from there.

Simosuchus was a small herbivore in Madagascar where this is from.

Miasiakasaurus was a small meat eater.

Kongonaphon was insect eater but was too small.

I know there were more also it’s possibly from a young dinosaur. Unless they went to extreme testing I doubt even the seller would know.

It will sit proudly next to the fossilized holes I found at McFadden beach. Aka small animal holes that got filled in and fossilized.
