My preferred medium of artistic representation, origami. Can you guess the animal it’s going to become? Here is the base (the initial form) and a picture a little further on with the legs of a Cretaceous creature I’ve started folding from a 24cm square of paper. The model design for this one isn’t mine, but I have designed a model before and hopefully will make some more of my own in the future. Hopefully the finished model will grace my shelf when I finally find one of these in fossil form. I hope you all enjoy, Benton

Can Anybody Help Me Find Some Dinosaur Teeth?
Bahariasaurus posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Hey everybody, BEFORE YOU JUDGE - this topic isn't as amateurish as I've made it sound with my hilariously vague title. I'm conducting a bit of research about dinosaur dentition in comparison with bird beaks and the evolutionary relationship between the two for the Natural History Museum - however, before I'm assured access to their collections I'd rather like a few dinosaur teeth in hand to conduct some tests, measurements etc on. I have a nice Bahariasaurus tooth, a raptor of some description and I think I'm getting a Triceratops one for my birthday - but I need a reasonable cross section for this to be a scientific discussion, e.g. a tyrannosaur tooth, some much smaller, perhaps insect-eating dinosaur teeth and maybe even an Iguanodon tooth if they're about (as they were one of the only chewing dinosaurs). I'm not so much trying to collect these as I am trying to study them. As long as most aspects of dinosaur diet are reflected then I'll have a good basis for my discussion - so flesh slicing, bone crushing, fish eating, insect eating, plant stripping, leaf/stem cutting, chewing perhaps and any other areas I've missed out. My question to you guys - are there any websites with a pretty good selection at not a terrible price about which I might have missed? I'm not terribly adept at finding such sites and the sooner I can get my hands on some good specimens the better. Thanks in advance! Robbie
