Machine learning identifies possible Deltadromeus tooth
BirdsAreDinosaurs posted a topic in Fossil News
By combining several analytical methods, including machine learning, to assess the diversity of a collection of theropod teeth from the Kem Kem beds, researchers found a tooth that could possibly be assigned to Deltadromeus agilis. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/02724634.2024.2311791 https://www.uu.nl/en/news/higher-carnivorous-dinosaur-biodiversity-of-famous-kem-kem-beds-morocco- 3 replies

Places in Texas to look for Acrocanthosaurus material.
AJ the Tyrant posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
I know that Acro stuff is quite rare and hard to come by, but I was wondering what the best spots in Texas are to find such fossil material. I live in the state, so it would not be too much of an issue to travel to a spot or two to hunt for these theropod fossils. To sum it up, my question is: what are the best spots in Texas to legally hunt for and collect Acrocanthosaurus fossils/teeth (preferably without heavy duty tools or machinery)? If there are any, it would be much appreciated if you list the formation and location.- 16 replies

possible E. dinops tooth
AJ the Tyrant posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hey! I’m thinking about buying this possible Eocarcharia dinops tooth. I want to make sure that it is completely authentic and correctly identified. It does say it is from the Elrhaz formation in Gadoufaoua, Niger, but I just want confirmation (if possible because identifying theropods from Niger can be quite difficult) that this indeed an E. dinops tooth.- 10 replies

Hi folks! Received a new theropod indet. tooth today from the ever exciting Kem Kem. I was tentatively leaning towards a Carcharodontosaurid indet i.d., in line with morph type 3 in the always handy guide from @Troodon, but a few properties of the tooth have me wanting to get some extra opinions. Measurements: Crown Height: 27mm Crown Base Length: 10mm Cross Section: 7mm Mesial serrations: 5/mm (midline) Distal serrations: 3/mm (area just above damage at midline) There is a neat repair at the tip, a bit of damage to the enamel near the apex on the anterior and around midline on the posterior. There is also a shallow chip out of the enamel near the cervix (can be seen in the cross-sectional pic). The tooth is quite noticeably recurved (moreso than most teeth I've seen with a similar morph type). There is a labially displaced distal carina, in-keeping with Carch features, but chisel shaped denticles are present; something I have personally not seen on any teeth if this kind in the past. Lingual Side Labial Side Mesial Face (The mesial carina is lingually displaced and reaches approx ⅔ way down the mesial face. Denticles are very subtle and annoying to count.) Distal Face Cross Section Mesial Denticles Distal Denticles Comp w/ Carch indet. anterior tooth Denticles from the same position near the apex: Thanks in advance for any input.
