Welcome to... my tiny dinosaur museum! I used to work at the largest natural history museum of the Netherlands and now I created a little copy of my own. I just recently started collecting dinosaur teeth from Morocco. At the moment I have 7 teeth: two Spinosaurids, one Carcharodontosaurid, 3 Abelisaurids and a Titanosaurid. As you can see, I also like to collect dinosaur models that are more or less accurate according to latest insights. The museum is still under construction: the labels are not correct (this is what I got from the fossil dealers, I need to make better ones) and I need more figures (I really hope one of my favourite manufacturers will produce a nice Rugops in the future) and teeth. Those Dromaeosaurid models are obviously out of place, but they will stay as long as I do not have more appropriote models. The next few teeth I would like to add are one bigger Carch, one specimen of the teeth that are often labeled as Deltadromeus and one or more Dromaeosaurid-like teeth. I do not know many good dealers in the EU, so if anyone has any tips that would be greatly appreciated!

Hello for a while now I’ve been looking for a Torvosaurus tanneri tooth. I have found out that many teeth are labeled as Torvosaurus tanneri but it doesent mean it is the correct id. One of the key components in identifying Torvosaurus teeth is serration density. I have always wondered what it mean and how to figure it out. Could someone help me? Thanks.

It's been a long time, since I have posted anything. I'll try to contribute, now. Best pictures I can get with a cheap phone, and not being able to be very still, myself. I took many duplicate photos. Sorry. I acquired these 6 fossils today. The Theropod tooth has visible serrations, when viewed with a common magnifying glass.

I purchased 25 dinosaur eggshells that are from Aix-en-Provence, South of France. 5 of them should be Cairanoolithus sp. and the other 20 should be Megaloolithus siruguei and Megaloolithus sp. According to the seller the left vertical row in the first photo are Cairanoolithus, however I thought Cairanoolithus eggshells have a much smoother surface and I'm not convinced they are. Also, I noticed that the Megaloolithus eggshells have pretty big differences in texture, some are much smoother than others? Can someone ID the eggshells on these photos?

I found this in big brook in Monmouth NJ some time ago. Was going back through my collection and found it again. I initially thought it was a partial enchodus jaw but I have a few of them and it looks nothing like it.. then I saw the end and thought it could be a rooted mosasaur. What do you all think?

Yay! It's #FossilFriday once again! So if you are stuck at work and trying to look busy, here is the first part of my fossil hunt from last year in the Hell creek fm of South Dakota.

Found inside of another rock when smashed outside of the Kiamichi mountains. Done the lick fossil test and it sucked saliva from the spot. What could it be? Aprx 2 1/2” tall 1 3/4in wide and 3/4” thick. Softer than quartz.

Hoping someone can help me ID this bone from the Hell Creek Formation. When I received it a while back it was suggested to me that it could be part of a Triceratops beak, but I'm struggling to see it. Judging by the texture it does look like a piece of Triceratops skull though, so I was hoping someone familiar with trike skulls might be able to help me out.

Found this working in Utah. I think it looks like a fossilized bone (if that's even a thing) or something. Anyone know?

This is a digital study of the head of Rugops primus. I screwed up some of the teeth (too recurved). I really should know better, haha.

Good evening to all my paleo peers! Tonight I’d like to share with you a selection of some of my favorite fossils found this year. I was lucky enough to spend three weeks in Montana over the summer, along with a few other fossil hunting opportunities here and there. As we hop into the New Year I'll kick things off aptly... Frog Radioulna-Judith River formation, Montana One of my all time best single fossil hunting days was spent in late June on a microsite in the Judith River badlands of northern Montana. Among the teeth of crocs, hadrosaurs and dromaeosaurs was this absolutely tiny limb bone. When reviewing my finds from this week I gathered up several of these micro bones and put them in a gem jar. I brought this minute group along with a small portion of my collection on my recent visit to the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. While exploring their collections I met amphibian expert Amy Henrici, who recognized it as the distinctive fused lower arm bone from a frog, also known as a radioulna. Yesterday I was able to take clear, close up pictures of this tiny limb on my digital microscope and subsequently posted it as my fossil friday on instagram (same username). I was excited to learn about its identity as it’s the first example of a frog fossil in my collection that I’m aware of! This little guy would have likely been on the menu for a whole host of predators, including Dromaeosaurs and Troodontids. The recent discovery of Daurlong provides evidence of a predator prey relationship between these two groups.

Hi All, I work in a small museum and im currently a geology undergrad, this is the first time in quite sometime that the museum has its own large fossil to prepare. I have some questions, we have an Air-Chisel and other prep tools. But what is the general consensus for getting fossils out of limestone? Particualy vertebrate fossils like these. Cheers, Jayden Squire

This fossil was recently handed down to a friend of mine. It was found on a family member's ranch near Cut Bank Montana in the 1950's. He remembers it being used as a door stop when he was a kid! What do we have here?

I do a post without a pic. A guy offered us a great claw from a Diplo. This was only partly prepped, because it has horn scabbard-remains. I am not familiar with dinoclaw- horn-scabbard, saw it for the first time live. Does anyone has infos about this preservation, literature, or has there been a post in TFF about it? Could not find one. As it is not the cheapest one I did not buy today. But, think about doing it, because it is very unusual. And, I love strange and unusual fossils. (When we got it I will post some pics, promised!)

This is being sold as two dinosaur dorsal spikes. One is 50x76x97mm and the other is 45x55x85mm. No locality or other information mentioned. Kinda fishy, but no idea what it is.

From the album: Aguja Formation
A shed tooth from a juvenile Hadrosaurid. Their teeth are arranged in dental batteries which like a conveyer belt constantly replace worn teeth. Because these marvels of eating machinery house hundreds of teeth at a time, their worn teeth are fairly common. In addition to being worn by the animal's mastication, shed teeth are often smoothed and tumbled by rivers before they are buried in sediment and fossilized.-

Even though I like and support the development of portraying dinosaurs as real animals instead of monsters, it is hard to deny that an encounter with a big theropod must have been a pretty scary experience.
