The broken-off end of a Megalosaurus thigh-bone (if I remember 
correctly).

Don't forget _Aachenosaurus_, the "hadrosaur" which turned out to be a 
piece of petrified wood.

And _Suchinodon_, the Polish "titanosaur" named from what was later 
shown to be something of molluscan origin.

All honest mistakes, though.
