  1. Has anyone on this forum recovered examples of hadrosaur (hadrosaurid or hadrosauroid) teeth from Green Mill Run, North Carolina? Would be interested to chat via email if so. Thanks!
  2. Hi, I bought this Spinosaurus fossil tooth. Do you guys think this fossil is legitimate and also do you have any other opinions on it ? Thank u 🙏
  3. Here by I want you to share my fossil dinosaur collection and keep updating it! So lets start off by showing my recently aquired Spinosaurus indet. tooth from the KemKem Basin, Taouz Morocco. It measures 4'51 inches. Really like the colors and detailed preservation. With serrations still visible.
  4. Hello friends, I confess I was looking forward to the return of my favorite forum. I would like you to help me identify the following fossils, the first is from a theropod from the Kem Kem area and measures 2.5 cm. The other specimen comes from Yunnan (China), it measures 3 cm and they told me that it would be a "tooth" of anomalocaris. As always, I am extremely grateful for your responses! Theropod:
  5. Good afternoon! I'm new to the forum and was hoping you all could help me with framing advice. I wanted to get a very special gift for my little brother for his birthday (his twin passed away a few years ago so I always try to make it a super special day), so I purchased a trike "spitter" tooth online. It's 1 - 1/8" in size and I was thinking about purchasing a floating frame to display it but I'm stumped as to which size I should purchase. I'm including a photo of the type of frame I was interested in using and the tooth I purchased. Is this the best way to display the tooth and if so, which size frame should I get? If there's a better way to display, please share any suggestions! Can you tell I'm new to this? Thank you all in advance, Amy
  6. Fast. Intelligent. Deadly. The "Raptor" is perhaps one of the most famous dinosaur today thanks to Jurassic Park. To many people's surprise however, raptors are heavily feathered and nimbler than movies would have you believe. The Jurassic Park Velociraptor was merely the size of coyote in real life! In fact, their proper family name is 'Dromaeosaurid'. The largest species was Utahraptor, and it grew to the size of a grizzly bear! Dromaeosaurid fossils have been found all over the world. They first appeared during the Cretaceous, though isolated teeth have been found in the mid-Jurassic. Allow me to present my humble collection of Dromaeosaurid teeth. First up, from Cloverly Formation, one of my pride and joy from @hxmendoza A dromaeosaurid from Aguja Formation. I am seeing more Aguja fossils showing up, but dromaeosaurid teeth are still rare. Now, for the dromaeosaurids from the famous Hell Creek Formation. Some of them probably lived alongside T. rex. A big shout-out for @Troodon for getting me started on dromaeosaurids with this very first Acheroraptor!
  7. Hello, Is it possible to identify isolated pachycephalosaurus teeth? My tooth has some moderate to heavy feeding wear on it so I don't know if its possible. I have the dinosaur systematics book however this doesen't help that much with identifying teeth. It only talks about cranial material.
  8. There are a lot of submissions to identify dinosaur material and a good number do not have enough information or its the wrong type of to assist in identification. Some posts are great. So I've prepared this for what I'm looking to help in this process. What is needed: An accurate provenance is the most important item required to obtain an ID. 1) USA & Canada Formation State or Province County or Nearest Town (a MUST) 2) Other localities Country Formation Nearest Town, Area 3) On Jurassic Theropod teeth I need measurements and serration density shown in the illustration (CH, CBL, CBW and Density). With Cretaceous teeth just need Crown Height - measured from the distal base to tip. If more is required I will ask. For herbivores All I need is CH. 4) Photos Tim @Fossildude19 always post this image to get the best overall photos. Additional requriements: Photos need to be sharp and HD. Out of focus images are useless Avoid holding anything, use some support like the putty (what I use - Fun-Tak) or plastic holders. Tak is just a temporary support not good long term and don't press hard No HANDS I do not want to see fingers in any photos. Your hands shake and fingers hide some of the specimen. There are a few exceptions when photographing the base of the tooth or articulation surface of a claw. No OBTUSE photos unless asked for. All straight in shots On Theropod Teeth these are examples of the ONLY 4 photos needed to start. With herbivore teeth I just need one image of both sides. Both Sides Base Mesial Carina May require an angle view to see distal characteristics like texture, undulations, blood grooves BUT not needed at first. I may require a close up of the serrations to see the shape of the denticles. If you plan to be a long term collector I do recommend purchasing a Digital USB microscope. They are relatively inexpensive and go a long way to help in identification. Otherwise sharp HD closeup photos would be needed. Not needed initially. For Claws I just need 5 photos, straight in shots, no obtuse angles. Length measurement Examples of all sides needed and measurement (red line) - I use putty under the claw to make it square to the camera lens For Phalanges need views from all sides Reminder just because all the information is provided it does not guarantee an ID especially from material outside of the US and Canada.
  9. Looks like we have a number of new members who are interested in Dinosaur teeth so I thought this topic might be good for them and serves as a reminder for more experienced collectors. Let me start off the discussion by saying that identifying isolated dinosaur teeth is a challenge even for more experience collectors, so its not a trivial task. There is no one cookbook that has all the answers, just a number of technical papers and articles that provide some information on different localities or species. Many of teeth that are sold online carry identifications that dealers have historically ascribed to them but in too many cases these names are not accurate or are out of date. This is very common not only from Morocco but also North America, Europe and Asia. New discoveries can change the playing field very quickly and sellers may not be not quick to keep abreast of these changes. So let me recommend the following 1) Locality, Locality, Locality, cannot say it often enough it is the most important piece of information you can obtain in the identification of a tooth. Teeth from North American require the following information at a minimum: Geologic Formation, State/Province, and in the States needs to include County and in Alberta nearest town. The county provides you a check and balance to verify that the formation provided is good. Locality information that only includes a state or province like Alberta or Montana is not adequate to identify. Getting complete information from other Geographic locations can be problematic so try to obtain as much as possible. Do not just accept the use of just a country name like Madagascar or Niger need specifics. 2) Do not trust any identification you see on a tooth. I don't care if its from a trusted dealer, a dealer you've done business with before, a friend, a member of this forum or any auction site. You need to be the expert. 3) Educated yourself as much as possible, read papers, books or informational topics on this forum. Ask questions and post your interest here on the forum B4 you buy or trade. 4) Photos: Other than the obvious ID's you cannot look at the front and back of a theropod tooth to determine what it is, especially Triassic and Jurassic material. At a minimum photos needed are from both sides, base and closeup of the serrations. If someone is not interested in providing you these photos, move on and purchase/trade from someone else. (see below) 5) Additional characteristics may be required and that will be dependent on what you are buying. These include serration density at the midline of both carinae, width and length of the base and how far the mesial carina extends to the base. Again if someone is not willing to provide you this information just move on. 6). Purchase/Trade for quality teeth, the better the preservation the higher chance you have in getting an accurate ID. Teeth missing a significant portion of serrations on one or both edges, or very worn herbivore teeth can be very difficult to properly diagnose. Avoid buying: worn, cheap or incomplete teeth, save your money on better Q ones, exception being extremely rare teeth. 7) Avoid restored teeth unless it minimal or done on super rare teeth. Repairs are acceptable that includes crack fill or reattachment of broken teeth.. 8) More often that not you will not be able to identify down to a species name so its acceptable to have your tooth identified to a genus or family name. examples include: Tyrannosaurid indeterminate or Daspletosaurus sp. . Be patient someday your tooth may be fully described. 9) Yes unfortunately it takes work to properly identify a theropod tooth where most sellers won't take the time and just rely on photos or what the digger claims. Here are a couple of illustrations to help understand tooth terminology if asked to provide information. From " A proposed terminology of theropod teeth (Dinosauria, Saurischia) by Hendrickx, Mateus et al (2015) " Ideally photos should show all sides
  10. Hello, I just had a trip to a co-workers place in Montana that I have looked at before with some good finds. It had been several years since my last visit and I was excited about possible new finds. In the sites I had found before, my dad, brother and I discovered some decent specimens. My dad did not find his Tyrannosaur tooth he wanted but he did find a couple of very nice raptor teeth. My brother found a few nice teeth but no theropod ones. As soon as we started looking, within a minute, I found a nice sized Aublysodon or Daspletosaur tooth. We looked for the day and then they had to head home. I went back a few days later to try and explore for new spots and found several. I found several theropod teeth, a couple of mammal teeth, crocodilian teeth, lots of bones, but nothing major. I have attached in-situ pics and individual pics for everyone to see. P.S., thanks for any help in an ID!
  11. I’m not sure what species or group these dinosaur teeth are from, first one seems to me to be either Tyrannosaurid or Dromeosauird. I’m learning towards Dromeosaurid but I’m obviously no expert.The tooth measures 1/4 inch x3/16 and is from Garfield county Montana. Second tooth correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t seem to be Tyrannosaurid nor Dromeosaurid. It has a weird shape and I’m not sure what group of dinosaur it’s from. It’s also from Garfield county, Montana. And measures half an inch x1/16. Sorry about image quality

    Consolidate Kem Kem teeth

    Hi all. Some of the Kem Kem dinosaur teeth in my collection have cracks in the enamel or missing bits of enamel. Therefore I thought it would be wise to consolidate these teeth. I was thinking about using a 5% solution of paraloid b-72 in acetone. I do have a few questions about how to apply the consolidant. - I am planning to apply the paraloid using a small brush. How do you usually do that? Do one side first, wait for it to dry and then do the other side? - how long does it take before a tooth is completely dry and you can touch the fossil again with your bare hands? Minutes, hours, days? - I believe many of the Kem Kem teeth are already kind of consolidated using super glue. Is this correct and does this affect how the paraloid works or how I should approach the process? Thanks!
  13. Hello, some time ago I bought these 3 theropod teeth from Morocco. I suspect they come from the Kem Kem Formation, but I'm not sure because the colors are sometimes unusual. Do any of you have any idea what species or groups of dinosaurs we are dealing with here? I first labeled them as Abelisauridae indet., but I'm not sure if that's true, especially for the first tooth. Thank you in advance. Tooth 1:
  14. I picked this up in Northern Montana when I was fishing near Seeley Lake a few years back. Any ideas what it might be? 1 5/8” long
  15. Hello. I am new here and I have quite a few specimens that I believe to be teeth or claws, that appear to have fossilized from a mineralization or petrification process, but I could certainly be wrong. These have all been collected from SW Missouri. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  16. Hello FossilForum, any help in identifying these pieces I have included would be greatly appreciated! I believe these are various types of teeth and jaw pieces and some entire skulls included. I have numerous crocodile skulls I believe. Thanks for looking and any info or help! TURTLE SHELL? This is what I think is a chunk of a Turtle Shell. SKULLS? Front Back Skull #2 TEETH:

    My “Mesozoic Park”

    Well, I figured that I should start a member’s collection. Sorry for my absence, I was busy with college classes. I did great this semester, and I even won a student leadership award! With that being said, I’m gonna start my collection off with a piece that I acquired for my birthday! My 22nd Birthday is tomorrow (June 14th), and I was strapped for money. My father and grandmother chipped in, and helped me acquire this chromium woodworthia piece from a local rock shop that I frequent! It’s from Arizona, and it only cost $60 USD! I’ll try to be active here whenever I can, as I am exhausted from this semester of college (having to abruptly switch to an online format due to COVID-19). I’ll have to link other threads of my fossils and post pictures of my previous additions to my collection to this thread whenever I have the time!

  21. Hi everyone, I was recently offered this Giganotosaurus tooth. I was wondering if there was a way to distinguish it from carcharodontosaurus teeth from the kem kem beds? Or if anyone can share there opinion on this one, thank you.
  22. Hello! Names Eric and I'm hoping to trade for dinosaur teeth. I am also interested in claws and dinosaur bone that I don't currently have. I actually do have dinosaur fossils for trade ( such as Trex, Triceratops, Edmontosaurus, etc) and ice age fossils (Mammoth, Cat, etc) for trade. I"ll try to attach a word document below of the current dinosaur fossils (prehistoric reptiles and mammoths included) that I have. Thanks your time dino names.docx
  23. Hi all, I have moved images of my collection to this page. Please any questions I will endeavour to answer one by one. Thank you for viewing. Kind Regards. Liam
  24. 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.
  25. Came across this tooth labeled as an abelisaurus belonging to chinanisaurus barbaricus from the Maastrichtian supposedly found in the phosphate mines of the Ouled Abdoun basin. Looks pretty thick to be abelisaurus and comparable to an extent to some carcharodontosaurus teeth. Is there a way tell the difference or will there need to be more specifics involved.
