    Hello there, Today an ankylosaurid scute was in my mail Information from seller: Euoplocephalos tutus Cretaceous Judith river formation Alberta, Canada One question about this: is Judith River fm the correct name if it is from Alberta? Isn't it Oldman Fm, or Dinosaur Park Fm then (territories of the Judith River group in Canada)? Based on the information I found online.. in these two formations in Canada the following ankylosaurids were found: Oldman fm: Scolosaurus Dinosaur Park fm: Anodontosaurus, Dyoplosaurus, Edmontonia, Euoplocephalus, Panoplosaurus, Platypelta, Scolosaurus I will ask the seller again for the exact location but I also wanted to ask some experts here.. Thank you in advance. Best regards Max

    Predation marks on a Bone?

    Hi again! Once again, my son was looking through the things we found last summer and found this piece. I think it is a piece of Dino bone with predation marks, but we also think it might be a piece of hadrosaur jaw. There is quite a lot of ironstone on the fossil though, so it could just be the ironstone playing tricks on us. If needed, I can post more photos to help with the id. The bone was found in the Horseshoe Canyon formation, in the Drumheller area, Alberta. Any input is greatly appreciated!
  4. Hello everyone new member here, I am planning a trip down to drumheller and I know that the first step in fossil hunting in knowing the geology and which layers to look in, and unfortunately as much as I try to research and learn it I still don’t understand, Id really really reallyyyy appreciate if anyone could help me to learn which layers to look at when fossil hunting in the badlands.

    A new bone from Drumheller

    Hi everyone! I meant to post this earlier, but It completely slipped my mind. My son was looking through our finds from the summer, and rediscovered this bone. It is one of the better preserved fossils we have found, but it has a lot of really annoying ironstone on one end. We think it’s from a hadrosaur vertebrae, the part where the vertebral processes would stick out above the neural canal, but that’s just our guess. Any input is welcome! Found in the horseshoe canyon formation of Alberta.
  6. Hello all I need some help ID-ing some strange fossil fragments I have found in the central Alberta Red Deer river valley. The two large pieces were found upstream from Drumheller Alberta near the Red Deer river. The shape & texture looks like it could be frill fragments & the three small pieces were found on my friends property very close to Drumheller. The three small fragments once piece looks like a jaw fragment and the other two have me stumped? The bumpy spongy looking one with holes could maybe be a scute & the other looks like a tooth with a Ridge down the middle. Any help to ID is greatly appreciated! Thanks

    Albertosaur teeth!

    Me and my son went fossil hunting in the Drumheller area today, and we found the best things we have ever found! We found 2 albertosaurus teeth! The other finds are a fossil cone, half of a hadrosaur caudal vertebrae, a champsosaur vertebrae, and a champsosaur rib. (Thanks @TyBoy!) All of the fossils are found in the horseshoe canyon formation.
  8. Hi everyone! On our most recent fossil hunt (the one where we found the teeth), we found a very interesting bone. We are trying to identify it, but there is an insane amount of ironstone on it. Are there any tips on removing ironstone? We are hesitant to try scraping it off, because we are afraid we might damage the bone surface. Any tips are welcome!
  9. We had a very good day fossil hunting today! We found by far the best fossils we have ever found so far! I’ll will post the other finds later once they are cleaned up! one of the finds today was this very well preserved but wacky looking bone. I have absolutely no clue what it is, so literally any input is welcome!
  10. I am in drumheller and visited horseshoe canyon yesterday and found some cool surface fossils but today want to visit a new spot to look for some teeth. Any suggestions as Horsethief is a bit steep and will be done next time. I’ve heard east coulee is good but not sure where? Any suggestions would be great before we head back to Edmonton.
  11. Hello everyone, I'm going to be in Alberta soon and I was hoping to do some fossil hunting. I read on a previous post to this forum that dinosaur fossils can be found in the Horseshoe Valley, but I was wondering if anyone has any other suggestions near Drumheller, or if they could provide any tips for this locale. I'm aware of the laws regarding fossil collection as well, all specimens will be catch and release. I'm just trying to fulfill a dream I've had since watching Jurassic Park 20 years ago haha. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
  12. I found this fossil in Alberta on the Wapiti river near Grande Prairie. I have seen quite a few over the years and decided to grab one that was laying on the shore near a bank that erodes more and more with each passing year. I was hoping someone may have be able to tell me something about this.

    Stuff from devils coulee

    Yesterday we went on an organized trip to devils coulee. It was an incredible day, and my son found his first dinosaur tooth! It got even better, as Wendy Slaboda, the person who first found the eggshell in the milk river ridge was guiding our trip! This is a protected site, so nothing was collected.

    Bison or Cow Molar?

    I was on a hike with my boyfriend yesterday along a lake in Central Alberta, Canada when we came across this bone in the river. I know some of the discourse of using the stylid as an identification tool to differentiate between cows and bison but I can’t seem to figure this one out! Please let me know!
  15. So I was reading up on the Willow Creek Formation and noticed that only three species have been found there. T. Rex, Montanoceratops and Hadrosauridae indet. My question is if its the same geological time period as Hell Creek formation what diagnostics are they missing to say thats its Edmontosaurus as that was the only Hadrosaur in HC? I guess what I really want to know is how are Hadrosaurs most usually classified? Is it Skull material or is a mostly complete specimen required?

    Looks like an egg. What is it?

    Good afternoon, This egg shaped rock was found on the surface of a reclaimed quarry in Alberta. Any thoughts on what it may be? Considering it was found at a gravel quarry my initial thoughts were that it was a rock that was somehow shaped during excavation and or screening. The colours and the jagged eggshell type patterns have me wondering though...? Apologies for the imperial measurements for scale. For reference the egg is approximately 90 mm (9cm) in length. Thanks for the help.

    Interesting fossil found in Drumheller

    Hello everyone This bone is from Alberta. The horseshoe canyon formation. This bone intrigued me because of the interesting way the pores are in the bone. From one side, you can see the pores go until right before the surface. On another side, there are patterns that seem to be like rings. Maybe they are just compressed pores? Any suggestions for what this is are welcome

    Strange bits of bone

    Last summer, we found these bits of bone, and I have been trying to id them. They were found in the Drumheller area, in the horseshoe canyon formation. The reason I was curious about them is because of how thin they were. They also have some really weird patterns on its surface. Below the surface is jet black. Also, there is a very tiny amount of marrow(that’s what I think it is at least). Any input on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Joy.

    Albertosaurus?

    Hi all, Wondering if this checks out as Albertosaurus. From the Horseshoe Canyon formation in Drumheller, Alberta, Canada CH: 33.1mm CBL: 16.1mm CBW: 10.5mm Mesial Serration Density: 4/mm Distal Serration Density: 3/mm

    Unknown Bone

    I found this bone in a creek in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I have asked some hunters and farmers what it could be but nobody seems to know. It appears old but modern. There looks to be a suture mark or perhaps an old fracture or some pathology. I would appreciate any insight into what bone this may be. Or where I might look to find something to compare? Thank you.

    Albertosaurus?

    Hello again--thanks so much for all the help lately! Is it likely that this is from Albertosaurus and not another tyrannosaurid if all we know about it is that it's from Alberta, CA? What additional info is needed to make such a call?
  22. Another piece found in the badlands of Alberta. Could it be a cactus ? Or just a interesting looking concretion? Any help identifying much appreciated. Thanks !
