What is the impact force of the Ankylosaurus tail club?
Alvrr.0 posted a topic in Questions & Answers
I've heard many times that the Ankylosaurus tail club is capable of breaking bones, and it certainly looks capable of doing so. However, is there any estimate in numbers that represents the force this weapon could exert?- 2 replies

This fossil is called an Ankylosaurus scoot scute armor plate discovered in the Hell Creek Formation. I don't know which part of Ankylosaurus this fossil refers to, but I would appreciate it if you could tell me which part of Ankylosaurus it refers to! I'm sorry I posted it wrong before so I'm uploading it again.

This is an Ankylosaurus fossil discovered in the Hell Creek Formation. What part is it from? Are these fossils very rare? Is it difficult to find? How much does an Ankylosaurus tail club fossil cost? Is what you see on the surface skin? Or something?

Identification Teeth of Nodosaurids are often confused for those of their rarer relatives, the Ankylosaurids, namely the archetypical Ankylosaurian, Ankylosaurus. (Most) teeth of Ankylosaurus are taller than they are wide, are generally conical in shape with one side flatter than the other, have large denticles on the anterior and posterior edges (6-8 anterior, 5-7 posterior), and have swollen/bulbous bases. Tooth wear is normally on the crown face, compared to wear on the tip (apex) as in Nodosaurids.1,2 Comments This tooth is partially rooted; the root is cylindrical and hollow. There is a wear facet on one side, offset from the center, with grooves roughly perpendicular to the apicobasal axis (suggestive of the mastication motion). This tooth was found in the same county as the holotype of this species. References 1. Carpenter, K. "Redescription of Ankylosaurus magniventris Brown 1908 (Ankylosauridae) from the Upper Cretaceous of the Western Interior of North America."

Hi all, I'm looking to confirm whether this specimen from the Hell Creek--Powder River county, Montana--is from an Ankylosaurus. I'm also wondering if its position can be determined, since it has such an unusual shape. Does the hollow proximal side suggest it was part of the tail? Thanks,

From the album: Hell Creek / Lance Formations
One of my favorites as a kid - the archetypical Ankylosaurian - Ankylosaurus. Ankylosaurus teeth appear to be fairly uncommon in Hell Creek - some paleontologists have suggested that Ankylosaurus may have lived in the highlands or nearer the coast of Laramidia. Most "Ankylosaurus" teeth you see for sale are actually Nodosaurid (cf. Denversaurus), for whatever reason, they seem to be far more common. Ankylosaurus teeth also often have wear facets, as this one does. The denticles give their teeth a "leaf-like" appearance. Given their shorter stature, Ankylosaurians probably were low-browsers. This one was found by a rancher last year, and was rediscovered and prepped out of the matrix in October.- 1 comment

A rare tooth from the Hell Creek formation. Curiously most Ankylosaurian teeth you see online are actually Nodosaurid. This one is the Ankylosaurus.-

I ended up buying this piece, and probably should have posted it here before i did that.. but here are two fossils listed as Ankylosaurus skull piece and scute. Can anyone here give their opinion on it? I don't have county, but it's from the hell creek formation, south Dakota. The largest piece is 10 cm long. @Troodon

Hello fellow fossil fans! I've recently purchased this tooth online and I'm struggling to determine whether it is actually an Ankylosaurus tooth (as advertised) or whether it is a Nodosaur tooth instead. The description is as follows: "0.5" ANKYLOSAURUS FOSSIL TOOTH LANCE CREEK FM CRETACEOUS DINOSAUR WY COA & DISPLAY Location: Lance Creek Formation, Wyoming (Private Land Origin) Weight: 0.2 Ounces Dimensions: 0.5 Inches Long 0.4 Inches Wide, 0.2 Inches Thick" I would really appreciate anyones help to figure this out!

Hi all, with Covid making it impossible to attend any shows here last year I was able to visit the Munich Show last weekend. Among others I’ve bought this tooth. Ive learned from you guys not to trust the ID done by the seller so after reading some posts here I doubt that the tooth is a ankylosaurus magniventris. To me it looks more like a Thescelosaurus. Am I correct with this opinion? Details provided by the seller: Hell Creek Formation North West South Dakota Thanks in advance for your expertise!

Help needed ! I prepped part of this bone with the highest difficulties because of a thin crust of iron sticking to the fossil. It comes from continental cretaceous of South of France. Before going further I would like to identify it to assess if it is worth the trouble . I hesitate between a Nodosauridae scute and simply a... turtle scute. I took pictures of the top (under the thin remaining matrix it is all bone), sides and bottom (which is totally unprepped and may never be, just note it is flat)

I found a bunch of these teeth on the Judith River Formation yesterday and not sure of the identification. Based on google searches they appear to be (from left to right) triceratops, ankylosaurus, and Hadrosaur. The one on the left is about 3/4" as a reference. Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

I found this in some Lance formation matrix. Might it be an ankylosaurus tooth? If not, what do you think it may be? Thanks for any help. The hash marks are 1mm.

Hi there Amateur Dinobot again, with the self isolation, I had some time to look back at a couple of my purchases. They were bought a couple years ago on a popular auction site. The sellers did not have a lot of reviews so it felt like a bit of a gamble. The first on I was told was a deltadromeus partial jaw and was found in Norther Africa in 2015. The other I was told was an Ankylosaurus scute. I dont recall if the seller provided any further detail but he is no longer selling items. Thanks for the input! Wasnt sure if they were identified correctly or not deltadromeus deltadrom

Here are some of the better finds from my digging trip in South Dakota last year. First up is what is likely an osteoderm from Ankylosaurus. This specimen is gone for research. I've got a "stupid rookie" story to go along with this if anyone is interested. Next is a section of Edmontosaurus rib with the head and part of the main. This still needs final cleaning and consolidation. I'm still debating whether to leave them separate or re-create the missing portion and join them. This is the largest and most complete ossified Edmontosaurus tail tendon I have seen. Most of the time you only find little 1 inch sections. This one is completed prep, retaining some of the matrix and a random BOB, as dug. Nice chunk of turtle shell. I have a love/hate relationship with these. This is one is large and quite thick. Most of them are extremely thin and fragile as egg shell. Still needs final prep and consolidation. Unfortunately its a covered in CA, which is making it so much harder. A very nice Tricerotops tooth that my son recovered. He is like a magnet for these large trike teeth. This is the 3rd big one he's found. All I find are tiny spitters. This is a juvenile T-Rex tooth, found beside the Ed rib. This one is gone for research. There's also a small nano-T tooth missing its tip, and a large BOB which I think could be a bit of Trike frill. No pics of those available at this moment. I'll have to add them later.

I found this in some matrix I brought back from the Aguja formation in Brewster county, Texas. I makes me think of a tooth, a little like an ankylosaurus tooth. Any thoughts? The hash marks are 1mm. Thanks for any help.

Location location location...I have 2 acres of my yard on a floodplain. In the middle is the source of a spring, and the far edge there is a creek. Atlanta is near, about 10 miles to the east. Etowah Indian Mounds are to the west about 10 miles. There was also a civil war battle in my yard as well. Plenty of bullets found there still. As I do metal detecting I decided to pull all strange looking "rocks" and put them in various piles. I've done this for the past 2 years and I have quite a mess..or eh, treasure. I just let the rain weather off the thick Georgia clay from the "rock piles" over the span of time and finally have something to show. I'll need a considerable amount of space to put the pictures of all the things I've found, but this forum is only allowing me a small amount right now. Check my last photo against the one Troodon posted here and let me know if you also think they are from the same beautiful beast. Mine is almost a foot long and half a foot wide and weighs just under 1 Thor's hammer. Actually - it weighs 18 pounds. That's about 3 pounds heavier than the egg shaped thing I found near it (not pictured). (note: pic above is from Troodon's thread here: "http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/81257-my-jurassic-park-ankylosauria-hell-creeklance-formation/" As compared to pics from my yard below:

Hey guys, wasn’t sure where to put this but anyway here we go. I was wondering if any of you have or have pictures of some fossils of some of my or your favorite dinosaurs?(I know gryposuchus isn’t a Dino too ) They are the species tagged. I know they are very rare and hard to obtain but just thought I’d see. Thanks, and I look forward to seeing your collections!

Hello everybody So we have this rooted tooth here: This tooth was found in Carter County, Montana / Hell Creek Formation and labled as Ankylosaurus magniventris. I just wonder if this ID is correct. Unfortunately I can't provide other pictures. I am aware of Troodons great post CLICK but still struggle with this tooth. This might be a worn tooth, but can't really see the key points Troodon pointed out in his post. Thank you for the help
