This is my first attempt at getting a Dromeosaurus albertensis tooth from Judith River fm. I've largely been avoiding buying dromeosaurids like the plague that aren't Acheroraptor or Saurornitholestes. Provenance: Hill County, Montana The tooth is repaired, and I had to realigned it while restabilizing it with butvar. The tooth doesn't seem to perfectly fit together, or too much butvar ended up in-between. There does not appear to be any serrations on the mesial edge, and it doesn't appear to have any trace of serrations, at least not that I can see with a macroscope. I don't think it's Saurornitholestes sp. due to the serrations not having the distinct hooked shape. I'm not 100% sure whether or not it's Tyrannosauridae indet., but I don't think it is, but the robust dromeosaurids are supposedly very similar at first glances. Any help or clues is appreciated. If any pictures are insufficient, I can try and take better photographs.

Hello All! Found a pocket of dino in the Moab area of Utah. I'm confident one is a raptor, but I may be wrong. The other I am not sure about. For reference, they were right around the corner from each other in the same pocket. Just a note - these are WAY off the beaten path in an area very few people would be able to get to. Quite frankly I was surprised to find them in this material as opposed to conglomerate like most of my other finds. Thanks in advance for your help!

Anyone here remember in their childhood being taught that Oviraptor (egg-thief) stole dinosaurs' eggs, and ate them? Same here. As most of you will know, it turns out, this dino was no criminal, it was just trying to be a good parent, brooding over it's eggs! Here's the fossil that led to it's misidentification: You can see how it was speculated to have been stealing the eggs, but, based on other specimen covering their own nests, and CT scans that showed an embryonic Oviraptor inside the eggs... It was being a good momma, protecting it's young from the sandstorm that buried both it and the eggs. So, case closed? Oviraptor, this weird birdy dino, was in fact just a good mom! No need for any further issues with it's diet and things, right? Well, unfortunately for this creature, the original speculation has left behind quite a legacy... It only takes a quick google search to show up lots of outdated, and misinformed data on websites! My siblings, and parents, still believed it to have predated on eggs, as well as all of my friends! Granted, they are not well versed on the palaeo scene (peasants!), but, still, it's weird that children's books on dinos still state this to be the case. For example, from Oviraptor - Official ARK: Survival Evolved Wiki (gamepedia.com) (the game wiki on a dinosaur game called ARK): On the actual UK Natural History Museum (Oviraptor | Natural History Museum (nhm.ac.uk)): Will this beautiful beastie ever leave behind it's disgraceful legacy? Maybe not, it's hard to say. Poor, poor Oviraptor!

Triceratops frill ankylosaurus scute, raptor claw fossils
Dinobot posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello let me start of by say you all are awesome! Amateurs like myself have got a lot more confidence because of the help you give us. It was great day when I discovered this site I had bought these a ways back and I was going thru my collection and it would be great to get an opinion if I these are what they were described as. The "raptor claw" was the first ever fossil I bought! (Fingers crossed haha) The COA said it was from the Taquiz, kasar-es-souk, region in Morocco. I believe the seller told be the red lines we blood grooves? It was probably 10 years ago so I dont recall much else about the ad. The other two were bought from the same seller, who did not have much reviews so I took a chance I guess. He described them as a "tricertops frill spike" and an "ankylosaurus armor scute" all i have regarding these ones is that is was found on private land in Wyoming in Lance creek formation... Any input would be greatly appreciated! I tried to follow the posting etiquette sorry If I missed something. Thank you!

This was found in southern Colorado. I’m not sure what it is.

Are these three eggs genuine? With full shell coverage?

Dinosaur teeth from North Carolina are rare and have only been found in a handful of locations. Other than one well known location, these other sites are kept very close to the vest for obvious reasons. Most North Carolina collectors will never find one.I had originally I.D. this tooth as Dromaeosuarid. However after research and consultation with our resident expert Troodon this I.D. has been debunked. After additional pictures, especially of the base and serration it was determined to be a Tyrannosuroidea idet. The two known Tyrannosaurids from NC are Dryptosaurus and Appalachasaurus. However due to the small size of the tooth the species cannot be determined at this time.

Please help me prove these are dinosaur eggs
rebeltrot2 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I acquired these through an estate sale I don't know much about this kinda thing but I'm fascinated with them now please help me determine if they are in fact dinosaur eggs they resemble pics I've seen online help please -
I’m hoping that this is a raptor tibia, as it was supposed to be. Can anyone help ID it? Also, I’m guessing that’s filler at the end, there, clearly seen in the 5th, or 2nd-to-last pic? Thanks in advance for any, and all help:)

I'm seeking feedback on what exactly is this bone-looking structure. It seems to closely resemble the tip of an alligator's toes. Do you think this is something that could happen to naturally forming rock? I cropped in closely to the image so it can be clearly seen. It measures 8mm from top to tip. I would sincerely appreicate any expert insight into what this could be.

Hello! I get this jaw with a tooth from Kem Kem. The tooth seems like abelisaurid or dromaeosauridae. What do you think? Thank you so much!

Hi!! As wide as the internet is, I've found quite a lot of sites where, apparently, dinosaur fossils are sold. I've found a particular site in which there are Deltadromeus Agilis teeth. My question is: ¿Is this, you know, real? ¿Is it a fake? At least, it looks real on the image. Thanks to anyone who answers this post!

Hi, I was wondering if this looks right? To me it doesn’t look right too me, but it looks like it fits. I was wondering what you guys thought? We’re glueing it but we’ll de bond it if needed. It’s most likely from the lance fm.

Hi I have a raptor tooth and I can’t remember what kind! It’s either a Deltadromeus, Dromaeosaur, or a Coelophysis. Thanks for your help! The tooth is 0.75 inches long

Hey guys, I saw this shown as a “raptor”/dromaeosaur claw. What do you guys think? Is it dromaeosaurid? Is it a dinosaur claw?
-

This is the second unidentified theropod tooth i just recently received. This tooth has a broken tip and its missing most of the mesial serrations. These are the measurements i observed followed by pictures for your own assessment. TOOTH 2 JUDITH RIVER FORMATION HILL COUNTY MT Crown height 12 mm ( missing tip ) Distal serrations are 3 per mm Mesial are 4 per mm There looks like there is a twist in the mesial carina Dromaeosaurus/Tyrannosaur?? @Troodon

Whats up all! I havnt posted in a while mainly due to just having everything all over the place since we've moved back into our house after a long time away due to renovation. I still have a ton of fossils in my collection and alot of unidentified teeth that im going to try and post on here more often.....ill be posting 2 tonight with the first being this tooth here : Its from the Hell Creek Formation, Tooth Draw Quarry , NE Butte County, South Dakota. Its CH is 13 mm The CBL is 8.5 mm Distal serration count is 3 / mm Mesial serration count is 4 / mm Base has an oval shape to it. Ill post a bunch of pics since some are better than others...anyway let me know what you all think ! @Troodon

This next tooth im posting is another one from the Hell Creek Formation. It was found in the Tooth Draw Quarry in Butte County South Dakota. Its CH is 14.5 mm CL is 5.5 mm Its got a round base I wish i could give you a serration count but there arent any so this may be a tough one. Paronychodon maybe? Give it your best guess! @Troodon
-
5mm across. Labelled as possibly a Dromaeosaur. From Upper Cretaceous, Montanna. USA. Any thoughts, please?

Hi Everybody, like I wrote in my last post, I got some new teeth shipped to me. :-) This one took me a while because the ID of the seller is possibly wrong (I don't think I tell you big news on this topic ;-) ). It was sold as a "Dromaeosaurus" from the Hell Creek Formation in Montana. Unfortunately no county was provided. I have read in several other posts in this forum about Dromaeosaurus that in the HCF this species didn't exist. This leads me to the question which raptor it is from? The length is approx. 2 cm and the width at the base roughly 1 cm. Unforunately I was not ably to identify any denticles, although it looks like there is a sharp line at one of the sides (labial side???).
