Hi everyone, I have this nice Hadrosaur mummified skin, bought online. Just wondering what genus/species this could be? Edmontosaurus perhaps? It was found in the Hell Creek Formation in Montana, 65 mya. Any suggestions will be much appreciated! Cheers!

Researchers Have Found The First Ever Fossilized Dinosaur Brain
tmaier posted a topic in Fossil News
Brains! Brains! BRAINS! Fossiled tissue, not just a cast. From the article... "According to the researchers, the reason this particular piece of brain tissue has been so well-preserved is that the dinosaur's brain was essentially 'pickled' in a highly acidic and low-oxygen body of water - similar to a bog or swamp - shortly after its death. This allowed the soft tissues to become mineralised before they decayed away completely, so that they could be preserved." Just in time for Halloween! http://phys.org/news/2016-10-fossilized-dinosaur-brain-tissue.html "The structure of the fossilised brain, and in particular that of the meninges, shows similarities with the brains of modern-day descendants of dinosaurs, namely birds and crocodiles." -
Hi, A short while ago, my wife and I collected in a Hell Creek location on a private ranch in SE Montana. Associated finds were Nanotyrannus teeth, Triceratops teeth, as well as a few Hadrosaur and Triceratops bones. My wife found an unusual tooth. It is about 1 cm in length, curved in lingually, curved to the posterior, and it is serrated on the posterior edge. The denticles have a pronounced upward (towards the tip) direction, and the spacing between denticles is greater toward the base of the tooth. On the lingual face, there are pronounced ridges. From a recent post, I am considering Pectinodon or Troodon, as remote possibilities, but the denticles are not so large, oddly spaced, and there are the pronounced ridges. Any ideas? Thanks. Mark

I found this tooth while searching my collection of Sussex Wealden, Hastings bone bed. Similar to the small size ornithopod dinosaur Hypsilophodon premaxilla teeth, but this species can be ruled out. It is more similar to the small ornithopod Echinodon, Purbeck beds, Dorset premaxilla teeth. The crown is smooth and asymmetrical. The root curls up at the end, similar to some Iguanodon teeth in original early illustrations of the Iguanodon species. I prepped the tooth out completely from the matrix. Tooth is very small being 5mm long. Can anyone help me with identification of this tooth?

Anterior dorsal? vertebra of a dinosaur. Likely Theropod due to it being hollow.

A caudal vertebra of a small dinosaur. Probably a Theropod.

Good Evening, I just got back from Bastrop, Texas with a rock that appears to contain a fossil. There may be more than just the obviously different item begging to be identified so I will post pictures showing more views. The height difference of the center cleavage is roughly 1mm. I'm inclined to think this is a foot claw or, because of the area, a sea creature. It may be nothing but a rock within a rock. What do y'all think this is? Any help is much appreciated. -Scott

Could this fossil possible be a claw? It was found near Houston Tx by dredging. Thanks much.

I really don't know anything about fossils, dino bones and teeth. I purchased a box of teeth and bones that were said to be dinosaur. Can anyone help to identify these teeth which are still set in a jaw. They are definitely petrified. Thanks

I was offered a hunt with an old friend this morning down in SC. I was supposed to be at work but............ well anyways, please give these pics a look-see and tell me what you think they are. Thank you all in advance. FYI, this place was full of broken stuff and the majorityof everything i got was broken.

Hello guys i need your help if someone can identify this fossil i will be really thankful. I had some fossil dinosaur bone and eggs before so i think its a dinosaur bone or something... also i have tons of fossil tree

Hike 'up' to KT Dinosaur extinction boundary. Alberta.
Ridgehiker posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Back to the Cretaceous badlands. Fall has come to the Alberta Badlands and cooler temperatures. This is a positive for exploring the steeper slopes and KT dino extinction boundary high above the Red Deer River. This report is a bit top heavy in scenery photos. Didn't want to get sidetracked by fossils along long trek through lower levels or would never make it up to the destination. Encountered Bullwinkle a couple of kms before our driving destination. Lots of wildlife this day including grouse, mule deer , coyotes and a million migrating waterfowl. Need to push our way through some non-badland topography. Boreal and aspen forests.

Hi everyone! I found this this bone while digging in the Hell Creek formation on a ranch in Montana. Any idea what it might be? Has some really unusual texture in a few places that I've not seen before. Could it be some kind of metatarsal bone? Was found alongside a fair bit of triceratops bone as well as a Thescelosaurus femur and some pieces of T-Rex. What might the strange texture be? Based on the rounded edges on both sides (minus a small chunk that's missing) it looks to be nearly complete...I think?? Thank you! -Lauren

Hi there everyone! PLEASE help me figure out what the heck this thing is. I unearthed it in the Hell Creek formation of Montana, and it has been driving me crazy ever since I started prepping it. The preservation is pretty incredible, and one of the coolest things about it is a huge predation mark along one side. Looks like a tooth raked along the surface of whatever animal this belonged to leaving a deep, clean line. I honestly have no idea what this is. Best guess is part of a jaw because it's so sharply angular. Could be part of a frill but the texture on all sides are each very different from one another. It also has a really elegant taper and gets pretty thin in some areas. I really appreciate your help! Also, please excuse my raggedy looking hands. I can get a little careless with the PaleoBond. -Lauren

I have this tooth and know nothing about it. Anyone know what kind it is and the value? Thanks! It's a little larger than 4.75 inches
-
Titanosaurid egg shell fragment.

Hello all, I recently acquired this massive bone, but the seller wasn't sure of the ID. My best guess is some kind of hadrosaur vertebra fragment? Can anyone narrow it down? It was found near Lance Creek, Niobrara County, Wyoming. Thanks for the help!
-
Tooth of an undescribed Abelisaurid. From either fezouane or Aoufous Formation.
-
A metatarsus fragment of a large Theropod. Possibly Carcharodontosaurus.
-
Caudal vertebra of a dinosaur. Most likely from a Theropod.
-
Anterior dorsal vertebra of a Spinosaurid (likely Sigilmassasaurus) with series of scratches on one side. It is likely that these scrathes are gnaw marks from different animals due to the different sizes of the marks.
-
Caudal vertebra of a theropod dinosaur.
