Paleontologists Redescribe Enigmatic Dwarf Pareiasaur Enrico de Lazaro, Science News, April 8, 2024 Yours, Paul H.

Hello everyone! My name is Weston and while I studied Geology at Whitman College, I never continued by degree. I am now getting a nursing degree and was stationed in Jordan, Montana for rural clinical. A contact of mine let me dig on land and I found all these fossils. Here is a link to my google drive photos. Please help me ID everything and anything you can. I am wondering if the things that look like eggs are actually eggs, as well as what the perfect sphere is. I am also wondering what dinosaur the bones most likely belonged to. I am confident there are coprolites right? I am emailing the Museum of the Rockies and Montana State University to get some help with ID, but I'm curious what you think! https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ygoAl7xSULYAMcD-F4i4MzZC31YqL3J0?usp=sharing

As a follow up to my last topic, i've included some of the other dinosaur teeth that I acquired at an annual fossil show. The first tooth pictured is claimed to be Triceratops, no locality was included but he claims it was found in North Carolina. however I cannot find any information to which Triceratops material has been found in NC. The second tooth pictured is claimed to be a Leptoceratops tooth from Hell Creek, however it seems they are often misidentified as Triceratops teeth. The third tooth depicted is Labeled as Richardoestesia, also from the Hell Creek formation. I am grateful for any identification and information that can be provided! Please feel free to ask for more adequate photos.
