Hi all, Got 3 different verts here from HC, Garfield County MT. Curious if everyone would concur on croc as the ID and, if so, what location on the animal. Seems small for dinosaur. I know there was a vert ID thread somewhere but I can't seem to find it now that I'm looking for it. 1) 2) 3)

Hello everyone, I recently finished preparing some ribs that I posted in the fossil preparation category and am having some trouble IDing them. One is fairly complete and the other 2 are fragments. They were found grouped together in Garfield County, Montana on a ranch. I think they resemble some Thescelosaurus ribs that I've seen in some papers but not enough to be confident in assigning an ID. Here are front and back views of each rib individually. I also found numerous bits of other bones in the jacket one of them being what I think is a carpal of something but haven't had time to do much digging. Here are some top and bottom views. I know you've said ribs are tricky to ID @Troodon but if you have any insight it would be very appreciated. Thank you all for your time and help.

I recently had the opportunity to purchase some jacketed fossils from a ranch in Garfield County, Montana in the hell creek formation. I bought 2 jackets, one with several small ribs present that I am currently working on. Another containing a single bone that I think is a hadrosaur pubis. One thing that surprised me was the wealth of smaller bits of bone present in the jacket I'm sure this is an amazing microsite I would love to see first hand. There were some really small bones that I don't think are identifiable but regardless very cool. This one with a really interesting convavity so maybe a joint in a small vertebrate? I also found what I think to be a ceratopsian spitter? It's very worn but it looks like some I've seen on the forum. And then another possible tooth? That unfortunately I was heavy handed in brushing off some sand before I consolidated it and it shattered. I also found what I think to be tiny petrified twigs, as well as what I think to be a piece of turtle shell that looks like trionychida to me but I'll know better when I get it cleaned off. There was also these pieces that vaguely resemble some carpals I've seen but are incredibly worn and not fully cleaned off yet. There were other various bits of bone as well that are waiting to be cleaned on my messy tray as well as a piece of coprolite? That I need to look at closer with a microscope. I got to the back side of the ribs without too much effort and that is where things started to get difficult, while I would love an ARO I'm fresh out of college and can't justify the purchase of that and an air compressor to my wife haha. So I am working with dental picks and some sculpting tools from my ceramics hobby. And a magnifying visor from yoctosun that I quite enjoy using with my glasses. The ribs were very generously coated in glue to stabilize them and about 2cm of matrix in any direction so I've slowly but surely picking off the sediment and softening it with brushed on acetone. I still have a long way to go before I even start the pubis and suspect that to get them where I wanted I might have to wait until I have a better set up to get some of the really stubborn bits off. The rancher thought they might be pachycephalosaur ribs which is possible, I know that ribs are tricky to ID. I have been having a hard time finding articles that describe hell creek ribs, let alone some that have pictures. It doesn't help that they aren't complete either so I am not comfortable assigning a species to them yet. I am very excited to start working on the pubis it will probably take awhile but my wife is leaving on clinical rotations, so I'll be alone for 6 months leaving me ample opportunity to prep after work. Thanks for reading, if you have any suggestions I would love to hear them.

Hello! I saw this interesting tooth for sale and I’m on the fence about purchasing it. It’s a .66” Nanotyrannus tooth from Garfield county Montana. The tip is restored but that doesn’t bother me. I’m posting because the base seemed a lot thicker than a lot of nanno teeth I see, and I also couldn’t really tell if there was any of the typical “pinching” on the sides. I was hoping for help determining if this is a Nanotyrannus tooth, or possibly a T. rex. Thanks!

Hi, now I have a microscope, I have took some photos of a second Hell Creek tooth. Very small--3mm long. From Garfield County. It has a slight ridge in the center--I believe that's a sign that it is Acheroraptor? Mnay thanks

Here is a small tooth collected from the Hell Creek formation, Garfield Montana, likely a juvenile. I think from its properties that it is a Nanotryannus. I would appreciate your thoughts.

The Montana Supreme Court will decide "Dueling Dinosaurs" case.
Oxytropidoceras posted a topic in Fossil News
Are dinosaur fossils ‘minerals’? The Montana Supreme Court will decide high stakes case By Jeremy P. Jacobs, E&E News, Science News, July 10, 2019 https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2019/07/are-dinosaur-fossils-minerals-montana-supreme-court-will-decide-high-stakes-case It should be noted, as the article states: “In April, Montana enacted a law that states "fossils are not minerals and that fossils belong to the surface estate." The law, however, does not apply to existing disputes, though the "Dueling Dinos" case is likely the only existing matter of its kind." Yours, Paul H.-
