For Christmas, I'd gotten a box of matrix from the Lance formation. I have some fossils that I am not sure what they are and would like to get your opinions. All of these fossils are from the Lance formation of Weston Co. WY. The first one is I think a theropod ungual, missing both the distal and proximal ends. Here are the pictures. The second one I'm pretty sure is a partial Edmontosaurus metacarpal. The The third one might be a ornithischian ungual. And here is the final one, I think that it might be a jaw section.

Non-Avian Dinosaurs May Have Had Bright-Colored Skin, Scales and Beaks
LabRatKing posted a topic in Fossil News
http://www.sci-news.com/paleontology/dinosaur-carotenoid-coloration-10354.html Non-avian dinosaurs may have had bright color on their skin, scales and beaks in a manner similar to modern birds, according to a paper published in the journal Evolution. http://cdn.sci-news.com/images/2021/12/image_10354-Orange-Dinosaurs.jpg Link to article: Estimating the distribution of carotenoid coloration in skin and integumentary structures of birds and extinct dinosaurs [paywalled, sadly] My Uni does not have access- I'd love to read this one if someone has a copy-

Has anyone else here seen The Jurassic Games? I’m not saying it’s scientifically accurate or any of the sorts, but for a “B-rate” movie, it’s actually really good! I was really impressed with the graphics. I tend to really like “B-Rate” movies though.

A nodosaur/Ankylosaur ? Ungual from my collection . A dis-articulated Surface find from central USA in “Appalachia”
-
Hello, I recently acquired a small box of fossils from someone who had passed away recently. Inside were many fossils including those pictured. The only indicator of where they are from is that the box says "MONTANA". I can tell there are dromeosaur teeth, hadrosaur teeth, ankylosaur teeth and such. I know the man I got them from would routinely dig in the hell creek formation but I just wanted to make sure there wasn't anything obvious that I'm missing that would indicate that these fossils were collected elsewhere. My guess is that they are from the hell creek formation however. Any feedback is appreciated!!

Greetings everyone! I am a fossil hunter and a graduate student from Beijing, China. Most fossils I collected is from the Mesozoic sediments in China, composing dinosaurs, crocodilians, turtles, fishes, invertebrates and plants. I do possess some other fossils, including mammal teeth from cave sediments in Southern China. The following picture is a fragment of a theropodian dinosaur from Yunnan, China -- not a recent photo, dated back to 2017. Nice to meet you guys.

Green River Fish Fossil for Dinosaur Fossils
Nanotyrannus35 posted a topic in Member-to-Member Fossil Trades
So this is my 1st time on the trade forum, so I hope I'm doing it right. I have this partial green river formation Eohiodon fish that is about 6 inches long that I self-collected from the split fish layer and I would like to trade it for dinosaur fossils. The fossils that I would want would be tyrannosaur teeth partials, and fossils from the Hell Creek and Judith River formations. Here are the pictures of the fish.

A tooth of early tyrannosauroidea members from northern China
Agent_Zigzag posted a topic in Member Collections
Greetings! This is my first share on this forum. I was looking through my collections, and one thing popped my mind was this tooth -- a tooth of Xiongguanlong baomoensis，which i found in 2014 but I could not give a very conclusive identification until earlier this year. I was lucky enough to travel along with a group of scientists into the Gobi desert in Northern China. That day we was traveling in the border zone of three different provinces, basically middle of nowhere. This basin is where most dinosaur from Gansu found -- including X. baomoensis, Auroraceratop rugosus, Lanzhousaurus magnidens, etc. I found two dozen of borken teeth on a random hill. In the beginning I thought those teeth could be either iguanadon, hadrosaurus or some crocodilians. After collecting them and bringing them back to Beijing, I went focusing on other real-life project (preparing for college, preparing for grad-school, etc.). It became a memory sealed in attic and lost until I was re-examining the crocodilian fossils I found from the same trip. Then my eyes fell on this tooth, which I recalled seeing similar teeth from the Lanzhou Geological Mesuem and labelled X. baimoensis. After a further comparing with other teeth from the same clade in museums in China, I am certain that this tooth could belongs to X. baomoensis. X. baomoensis is one of the most mysterious member of the superfamily Tyrannosauroidea, and only thing I could be sure that they could grow larger than the specimen preserved in Lanzhou -- for I found a large theropodian matatarsal from the same site and it's certainly larger than the skeleton they demonstrates. I put it somewhere in my mountains of boxes, please allows me some time to look for it.

Good evening, I recently went fossil hunting in Dawson county MT in the Hell Creek formation. I believe that the fossil I collected is a possible dinosaur vertebra. Is there any way to determine what dinosaur this maybe and if it is a vertebra? The measurement is 7 inches long and 4 inches wide. Thank you, geogrl

Looking for unprepared vertebrate fossils
Natalie81 posted a topic in Member-to-Member Fossil Trades
Hello, Since all those covid restrictions I haven't got the opportunity to go look for fossils outside of Belgium. So most of our trips from the last year are almost exclusively in the devonian. To get a little change of this I was hoping to find some unprepped vertebrate material, it dousn't have to be complete and I am not afraid of some puzzel work, but the pieces need to be recognisable. I can offer a multitude of different fossils for trade. ( Ammonites, spiriferids, shark teeth, sea-urchins,...) Natalie -
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!

Harryhausen. A trip to the Scottish National Gallery in Edinburgh
Welsh Wizard posted a topic in A Trip to the Museum
We’ve just been to the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh to see the Ray Harryhausen exhibition. The exhibition contains models and drawings that Ray Harryhausen made for his various movies. It was a great exhibition and well worth a visit. It had all the models from my favourite films like Jason and the Argonauts, Clash of the Titans and the three Sinbad movies. Why this thread on the fossil forum. Well Ray loved dinosaurs and he was lifelong friends with Ray Bradbury who also loved dinosaurs.

Kurufossils posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Hi, does anyone have or know where I can view images of a ankyloaurus/nodosaur foot but especially the ungals? Having a hard time finding images for a comparison. -
I saw a dinosaur supporting bone. Excavated from Madagascar. But I don't know the variety. His minimum perimeter is 60.5CM. Can you determine the weight? About?

From the album: Lance fm. Microsite Finds
While far less famous than its horned and frilled relatives, Leptoceratops were interesting small herbivores in their own right, likely utilizing their deep set jaws as a deterrent for predators. So far this is the only tooth from this genus I've found so far. -
Hi, everyone. I’m brand new here, so, pleased to meet all of you! I’m wondering if any of you know of locations in the US where you can dig for dinosaur fossils (body and/or trace) on a one-day-at-a-time basis and keep some of the material found. Thanks in advance.

Dino Egg authenticity - real?
BrettCo124 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hey everyone! I posted this on a Facebook group and had some great responses. My question is, I recently purchased a segnosaur egg from a reputable dealer who has been selling Dino fossils for a long time now. I have read how some Dino eggs might be fake, and I figured I’d just ask the question and get your professional opinions. Because of the reputation of the dealer, I do believe it’s authentic. It’s not like I bought it off of online from a random person, but I still wanted to ask the question. What do you think? I appreciate your feedback. IMG_9607.MOV

Hello everyone ! This Tyrannosaurus rex tooth measures 1 7/8 inches, has great enamel and great serration. I wanted to ask, how much can such a tooth be worth? and I would also like to know, how big was the whole tooth? Can you deduce from these photos? Thank you
