My Spring trip this year was quite a challenge. Last year we had oppressive heat, it was extremely dry with high winds. This year it was rain, rain and more rain and cool. The ranchers however are in heaven with pastures that are green, green and green. Hopefully it continues for them through the summer. So, we had a few rainout days, lots of drizzle and had to deal with gumbo feet, slippery cliffs and wet bones and matrix. Not the best of conditions for collecting and the group's results showed that. On the downside the day we departed Belle Fouche, where we stay, a ve

Unworn Hadrosaur tooth from the maxillary (upper jaw). Based on the size, it could be from a juvenile. -
Hi there everyone! I recently came across a listing for what is described as a partial Edmontosaurus toe bone and I thought it would be a unique addition to my collection. The specimen’s description says it was found in the Hell Creek Formation of Montana which is pretty commonplace with this seller, but I attempted to get in contact with the seller to try and get more information about the fossil (exact locality, how they IDd the specimen, etc.) and they unfortunately never responded. I was wondering if any of y’all would give it a look and give some of your own opinions. I’d lo

Another day, another art project for school I’m working on. This time it’s supposed to be inspired by google doodles, so I chose to do the 19th century paleontologist Joseph Leidy. He’s lesser known than his student, Cope, but his finds contributed hugely to North American paleontology. My first concept was to simply have him standing with a Troodon to the left, but that was quickly scrapped. I then went with some light thumbnail sketches, and found one I liked before starting to do an inked version of it. This ended up being the more finalized thumbnail sketc

Greetings, I have a bone fragment that's a mystery to me. This fragment is part of a find that I had posted in another thread in 2019 showing a Dental Battery. The dentary was presumed to be Edmontosaurus. The pictures here are of a 5" fragment that I would like to identify the bone & placement, this fragment also has a penetrating bite. The sediment that filled the bite area has been removed and the cavity seen in the pictures is from the bite. Two curved teeth about 4" or more penetrated completely through, pushing a lower tooth down into bone while two smaller t

I had found this online and I have been thinking about buying it. It doesn't look really like an ungual though, and the price seems too good to be true. It says that it is a foot claw from a duckbill dinosaur from the Hell Creek formation of Battle Co. South Dakota. Here are the pictures that the seller had provided. Thanks for any help.

Edmontosaurus annectens Hell Creek Fm., Harding Co., SD, USA Partial dental battery Hadrosaurs had the most histologically complex teeth of any animal, with six unique tissues. This allowed for differential wear, creating an ideal coarse surface for grinding plant matter. (Erickson et al. (2012)) -
I'd gotten an Edmontosaurus caudal vertebra from @Troodon and had decided to prepare it a bit. I had used water to soften the matrix and a metal pick. Here are the before and after pictures. Before And after Also, does anyone have any tips on how to prepare hell creek fm fossils because I just wet the matrix and basically scooped it out.

It's Fossil Friday, so I have another fossil video ready. This is a prep of the Edmontosaurus neural arch I recovered in the video posted last week. A little background: Edmontosaurus Annectins, 66 millions years old (Maastrichtian) of the Hell Creek formation, Butte county, South Dakota. Recovered while digging with Paleo Adventures

So I got this bone chunk that came in a bag that just said Edmontosaurus Bone from Hell Creek Formation. It looks like it might be an identifiable bone. Just wondering if it's identifiable or just chunkosaur. Here are the pictures.

I'm collecting Hell Creek Dino teeth and this is in the new collection: rooted Edmontosaurus tooth. The tooth measures almost 2 inches and has a evidence of repair at the middle but still looks great. Since it is diamond shaped I guess this is a dentary tooth. And this is current progress of my Hell Creek Collection. I have two Tyrannosaur (Nanotyrannus, if you think it is a valid genus), a Ceratopsian, and a Edmontosaurus. The lower right corner is still empty. I have an Nodosaur tooth but it is too small to

Hell Creek vertebra, caudal vertebra from a Edmontosaurus?
Georgemckenzie posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello everyone I purchased this hell creek vertebrae as I’ve not got much dinosaur material from there,(from the uk) just wanted to make sure the sellers ID is correct, locality is Powder River, Montana, Hell Creek Formation -
The title says it all. It’s a nice tooth, but I’m going back and forth on it because the telltale wear patterns for either group are not present as far as I can see. I apologize for the poor quality of my camera phone picture.

I just returned from a dig near Baker, Montana. I found this part of an Edmontosaurus jaw with the teeth replaced by siderite. I thought it was a rare replacement. If important, the KT boundary was very visible on this ranch. The section is about 3 inches by 3 inches.

Finished my latest prep. Now, I realize that in the worlds of both commercial and academic paleo, this is a useless, junk fossil. Its an unassociated, partial in poor condition, and any final monetary value doesnt meet the time invested in the prep. However, its special for me in that its my first "wild" find. I hiked, explored, tracked the float, found the end of this in the face of a wall, then excavated it. I was hoping for a much more complete fossil, but this was it. It is highly fractured and deeply root rotted. But I carefully disassembled all its parts, cleaned them, consolidated t

I have what I'm pretty sure is a triceratops hoof, but I've come to understand edmontosaurus and triceratops hooves are hard to tell apart. It's from the hell creek formation, Montana. It's 3.5 inches across and long

What a trip my son and I had this year! We started out in the Hell Creek fm of South Dakota. This was a special trip through Paleo Adventures for his "veteran" guests who have already spent a few years with him and could operate without supervision. We started out hunting a new ranch. This property is virgin ground with LOTS of acreage that needed exploration. The group was split into 3 teams, each taking a different area. Our team was further split into pairs. So, it was my son and me, exploring for new outcrops. The sun was intense, the temperature hot, and hours of hiking and sta

Just returned from collecting trip to my usual Edmontosaurus bonebed site in South Dakota. It was one of the worst weather trips over the years I've been collecting with daily AIR temps between 90 to 102 degrees F and winds typically in the 25 mph range and some days gusts hit 40mph. Temps on the bluff were much higher and the winds limited our use of tents so we were constantly blasted with sand and sun. The good news was no rain so despite the hardships one could collect. We targeted getting to the site by 6am and gave up around 2pm. I pass through Hill City, SD to get

Edmontosaurus Astragalus from Hell Creek, South Dakota

I want to share a nice Astragalus of an Edmontosaurus, from Tooth Draw Quarry, Hell Creek Formation, South Dakota. According to the shape of the fossil, I guess this is from left leg of the Edmontosaurus.- 1 reply

Hello, This fossil caught my eye as one to buy. It is described as a radius--23 inches long. Seller doesn't know the species, but speculates it could be theropod. Am I right in thinking it is actually Edmontosaurus? It is from Hell Creek, Montana -- near the town of Jordan. I did a bit of looking, and 23 inches seems far too big for any of the Hell Creek theropods. Edmontosaurus radius bones look around the same length--a google search shows some previously sold which were around 20 inches plus. The weight is just under 6lbs. So, am I correct
