Hello, I came across this 1.3" tooth from the Morrison formation in Johnson county, Wyoming. Does it look like Ceratosaurus to you? I'm trying to confirm that the mesial carina extends to the base, but I think it does extend to the base (despite being worn), based on the last pic but it's hard to tell since it's out of focus. Looks pretty symmetrical and otherwise morphologically appropriate. DSDI looks to be in the 1.0 ballpark...

Hi all! I've had this tooth in my collection for a while now and I want to give a more narrow ID. It was originally sold to me as belonging to Ceratosaurus sp. and even then I knew how bold a statement that was and have had my doubts about it. My knowledge on Morrison Theropod teeth is very limited so any of your help is appreciated.

Hi everyone! As I have mentioned several times, being a 3D artist I am trying to move into the field of paleoart. Recently I have started modeling Ceratosaurus nasicornis in 3D, and I really want to make it as accurate and plausible as possible. Here is what I have got so far: a basic model done in 3ds Max. After this I am planning to take it to ZBrush and add more muscle definition, sking wrinkles, scales and other fine details. At this stage this is just the base and I would like to share it with you guys in order to receive some feedback from those who know their dinosaur anatomy. Did I get the shape and overall structure right? Constructive criticism is more then welcome, pretty much this is what I am asking for here. 1. Mesh 2. Body 3. Perspective 4. Back 5. Top view 6. Head close-up

Hi everyone, So today i was researching for a quality tooth, like a Daspletosaur one or an Allosaurus one. Suddendly i notice a tooth that says “Morrison Formation Allosaur/Ceratosaur “shed” tooth” It was in a Matrix, and i never seen in my life a tooth of this caliber, it was very strange. It was like the root was splitted in many pieces, giving you the sensation that the tooth was fused with the matrix. So the question are, what’s the meaning or description of the phrase “shed tooth”? Is a good piece? if you need photo ask me Notice: I have only seen Ceratosaurus tooth with 3 mm in leght, and this is 3/4 cm long, so I think it would be (if it is a good piece) a good opportunity

Hey everyone, How do you tell the difference between the teeth of theropods from the Morrison formation, such as Allosaurus, Torvosaurus, Marshosaurus, and/or Ceratosaurus? Any information is appreciated! Thanks!

I was recently given a tooth collection a relative of mine has built up over the years and somebody on reddit said that I should come here to verify my ceratosaurus tooth, as he said it is hard to identify one. If anybody could check this out, it would be appreciated.

Paper describes a large theropod from Uruguay represented by isolated teeth which resemble Ceratosaurus. I dont have access to this paper but it will be interesting to see the multvariate analysis results and be able to compare these teeth to those found in Portugal. What is interesting in the highlights is that they propose that the spinosaurid Ostafrikasaurus crassiserratus from Tanzania should be referred as a ceratosaurid theropod.

Ceratosaurus is one of my favorite Jurassic theropod Dinosaurs found in the Morrison Formation. Teeth of this and other theropods are commonly sold through online Dealers, Auction Houses and at Fossil shows. Just because a site/dealer sells Jurassic material does not guarantee the are accurately identified. Variation of the teeth in the jaw also adds to the complexity. Isolated teeth from the Morrison Formation are very difficult to diagnose and all require an understanding of additional characteristics than normal, in hopes of properly identifying them. Some publications describe the anterior teeth which is shown below.. This Latest edit is driven by C Hendrickx 2019 paper which shows some data on these teeth which I present in this edit. The following information is needed to identify these teeth: 1)Photo of tooth all sides and base and one of the mesial edge 2)Serration density of both edges, 5 mm wide at midline 3)Dimensions: CBL, CBW, CH 4)Locality: State and County Premaxillary Position (From Morrison Fm) (Data from 10 Teeth Hendrickx study) Crown height ratio CH÷CBL CHR : 1.2 to 1.9 (Avg 1.7) Crown base ratio CBW÷CBL CBR : 0.57 to 0.78 (Avg 0.66) Serration Density: DSDI 0.9 to 1.8 (Avg 1.35) Distal : 7 to 9 / 5 mm Mesial: 9 to 12.5 / 5 mm Other Characteristics Cross-section base : Subcircular Mesial Carina NOT reaching the base in most crowns Lingual grooves (flutes) are diagnostic and on the lingual side only. Transverse Undulations: May be present on the lingual side Interdental Sulci: Weak to absent Lateral Dentary Positions (From Morrison Fm) (Data from 9 Teeth Hendrickx study) Crown height ratio CH÷CBL CHR : 1.7 - 1.9 (Avg 1.8) Crown base ratio CBW÷CBL CBR : .035 to 0.5 (Avg 0.44) Serration Density: DSDI .09 to 1.1 (Avg 1) Distal : 11.5 to 13 / 5 mm Mesial: 10 to 12.5 / 5 mm Other Characteristics Mesial serrations extend to the base on most crowns Transverse Undulations: light present on distal teeth Interdental Sulci: unknown Anterior Dentary Positions Gooves are present on the lingual side of the three anterior teeth Lateral Maxillary Positions (From Morrison Fm) (Data from 11 Teeth Hendrickx study) Crown height ratio CH÷CBL CHR : 1.8 - 2.3 (Avg 2) Crown base ratio CBW÷CBL CBR : .032 to 0.6 (Avg 0.42) Serration Density: DSDI .097 to 1.2 (Avg 1.06) Distal : 9 to 12 / 5 mm Mesial: 9 to 12.8 / 5 mm Oher Characteristics Mesial carina extend to the base on most crowns Transverse Undulations: can be light present Interdental Sulci: can be present If you would like to learn more about Ceratosaurs, bones and teeth there is a great soft covered printing.

Hi I’m wondering what Ceratosaurus and other horned Theropods used there horns for? I’ve heard it was display but I’ve also heard it was for pushing rivals. Is there any evidence for these? Thank you!!

Hands are very important to everyone including Dinosaurs .. here are some photos of your not so ordinary ones ........both herbivore and theropod. Some pretty cool configurations..

Collectors talk about the small arms of T. rex, but have you seen the arms of Carnotaurus? The entire arm was vestigial and likely useless.

These lumpy bumps may not look like much, but they are super cool! You are looking at osteoderms that lined the back of the horn-snouted Jurassic theropod Ceratosaurus.
