Hey everyone I am preparing a rib from the Hell Creek formation it isn't in the greatest of shape and I still had a long way to go but wanted to start thinking about maybe trying restoration for the first time and wondering what you guys recommend. Here is the startand here is where I'm at right nowwith the right side there will need to be some fill to the missing bone. My question is though with the degree of curve on the right end do you think I'm close to the head and should try reconstructing the head? I could be looking at the curve wrong too and just have the bottom of the rib, either way though is there any method you guys use in reconstruction to get the bone texture? Thanks for the help I'll continue updating this as I get further into prepping it.

Hi Everyone! I picked up this piece on my recent trip to Tucson. It's definitely Tyrannosaur from Hell Creek (Garfield County, Montana) the question of course is what would be the proper label for it. The size and thickness makes juvie rex tempting but the base is too damaged to see if there's a pinch and I've seen Nanos this size before. Both I and the seller were thinking indet. Tyrannosaur while discussing the tooth, but I figured it couldn't hurt to post it here in case anyone sees something we missed. CH: 36.8 mm CBW: 9.88 mm CBL: Hard to measure since there's a piece missing but it's 12.4 mm with damage and probably 15-16 mm if undamaged. Any insight is appreciated as always!

Hello everyone, I just finished preparing what I think is a turtle coracoid but I'm having trouble narrowing down the species of it. It has lovely coloring that makes up for being a partial bone and was not a bad prep except for the very then bone at the edge. It measures 14.3cm long 5.4cm wide and 1.9cm thick at the articular surface.

Happy New Year everyone! Apparently I was good last year because I got gifted a blast cabinet and a mobile problast from vaniman which have been amazing. I made some mods to my hf cabinet that made it much more useful. I added a base frame and castors too it and changed the lighting to led bars which really improve the lighting. I also used some extra angle iron to the back to use as a mounting bracket for my magnifying lens. I also updated the switch to house some plugs. Here it is in all its glory. All in all I'm pretty happy with it the only thing I might do is cut the gloves out and use disposable gloves as the stock gloves are too large for my hand. Here is the air drying system that I put together I will definitely modify it in the future but it works great for now. For the first prep after a bit of practice I chose a fairly beat up Hadrosaur Chevron. It has a palm seed and a stick in the v that I though were pretty cool. There were definitely some mistakes but all in all I'm fairly happy with it. I'll probably go back and re-prep it later but for now I like it. Hope you enjoyed this and I can't wait to show you all the things I'll prep this year!

Howdy all, I've had this salamander vertebra from the Hell Creek Formation for quite some time now, and I was wondering if there would be any way to place an ID. (I've been told it could be either Scapherpeton tectum or Habrosaurus dilatus)

This is a tooth that lets me doubt the label… It was sold as “Albertosaurus”. Provenance is Hell Creek Formation, Montana. But to my understanding there is no Albertosaurus in the HCF of Montana or am I wrong? The serration count is 3 per mm and 2.5 per mm. Has someone got an idea what it might be?

Tyrannosaurus rex, 2.038”, Carter Co., MT
GTS posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Fellow members, I am considering purchasing this tooth which is advertised as being a T. rex tooth from the HCF of Carter Co., MT. The seller isn’t able to provide the nearest town. The enamel isn’t perfect but I am guessing that much of the value will be in the length. I am told that there is no repair nor restoration - can anyone see any evidence that might suggest otherwise? The description also states that there is some partial root present. From research, it seems to be an average specimen as is typically found. Or perhaps somewhat above average given that most teeth found are in a worse state. Might members agree that this is a nice 2” T. rex tooth (albeit with some enamel missing) at this price point. There are better out there but those perfect examples will be well north of much more, one suspects. Thankyou in advance.

Unknown Bird/Pterosaur/Small Raptor bones from Hell Creek Formation, Montana
FossilRobert posted a topic in Fossil ID
I've got a few bones that I've been scratching my head over for a couple days. They are from the Hell Creek Formation in Garfield County, Montana. They're extremely thin and hollow, and only one seems to have undergone some compression. I'm including measurements with the photos below. Curious to hear what you all think. -
Hell Creek Dromaeosaur or Troodon Partial Humerus.... OR plain turtle?
rkfrace posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello beloved community. Anybody able to weigh in on this specimen's ID. It was labelled as "Dromaeosaur or Troodon Humerus, Hell Creek, Harding County, South Dakota. 1 and a half inches" My hope is that the ID is correct, and the humerus belongs to a baby. My fear is that it's 'just' a Hell Creek turtle humerus. All insight deeply appreciated!

Hi all, Do you agree that this 0,7 inch tooth from the Hell Creek formation is a tyrannosaurid premax, or could it be something else? Thanks!

I'm interested in this rib end from the Hell Creek formation of South Dakota and was wondering if there was any way to identify the species. I've compared it to several large species that were native to the area and in my opinion, this piece compares very well with tyrannosaurus. Then again I'm no expert and would very much appreciate a second opinion. I've included examples of ribs from each species I compared it to.

Hi everybody I have been sifting through some micro matrix off of a hadrosaur pubis I have been working on and was hoping to get some ID's. I'll label the specimens by number to aid in responses. The first is this therapod tooth that I was thinking could be dromaeosaurid, possibly Archerorapter because of the ridges on crown but unfortunately the tooth isn't in wonderful shape. The tooth CH: 5mm CBL: 3mm CBW: 1mm and the distal Carina are 10 per mm. There aren't any distal Carina preserved. 1. Next is what I think as a gar dermal plate and the several other pieces like it but with different patterns. The dermal plate 2. The other patterns. 3.4. Next is an odd bone fragment that I haven't the faintest ides of what it is. 5. Probably my best find would have to be this vertebra that I think is a Scapherpeton tectum trunk vertebra that I was beyond thrilled to find. 6. I feel like this next one is a tooth and makes me think gar but is fairly beat up so it might not be identifiable. 7. Here's a fragment of bone that is only diagnostic in the fact that it is hollow. 8. Here's some of what I think are gastropods with a small amount of shell remaining. 9. Here is a curious looking fragment that is only half there but seems to have some enamel? 10. And finally here is what I'm pretty sure is just a fragment of tooth enamel. 11. As always think you for your time and knowledge I look forward to hearing from you.
