Another tiny toe found in a North Dakota Hell Creek microsite, this little digit is 1 cm in length and about 5 mm in width. I know it's difficult to identify isolated digits but I was hoping we could potentially narrow it down to a general ID, turtle, croc, champ or other.

I purchased these two fossils a while ago. Both are from the Hell Creek Formation in South Dakota, and both were described as hadrosaur jaws. They definitely seem to resemble the jaws of hadrosaurs, however I've noticed that the empty tooth rows of ceratopsians look extremely similar (to my untrained eyes), which is making me reconsider the seller's ID. I am hoping that someone out there with more knowledge can state confidently if these are ceratopsian or hadrosaur, and preferably if they can briefly explain why they think so. Bonus points if you can state if these are from the upper or lower jaws, or confidently state the genus. (From my limited research, it seems Edmontosaurus is the only hadrosaur described for the Hell Creek in South Dakota; the most abundant ceratopsian is Triceratops, but Torosaurus is also possible, as is Tatankaceratops, and of course the always popular "not yet described".) Let me know if additional photos would help your ID.

These are two Hadrosaurus jaw fragments I’ve had for awhile. As far as I know they are from the Hell Creek formation of Montana. I think they might be Edmontosaurus but I really can’t tell. The fragment exhibiting tooth channels is about 8 inches in length. The other fragment or chunk exhibits many broken teeth and is about 4 inches in length. @Troodon @jpc might like to have a look?

Hello all, it's been a very long time and I'm posting from my phone in an area with no wifi, so I hope I've followed all the rules as best I can. I was out fossil hunting in the Upper Hell Creek in eastern Montana last year, and found this bone. (Sorry for the images, I will not be able to retake them for months.) It was found in a sandy mudstone and appears to be hollow (and very crumbly). Its about 10 inches long.My best guess is a Struthiomimus femur, but if anyone knows different please let me know. Thank you for any help you can give!

From the album: Dinosaurs
Species: Tyrannosaurus rex Age: Cretaceous (Maastrichtian), c. 66 million years ago Location: Hell Creek Formation, Montana, United States Quite small tooth fragment of a juvenile specimen (classically referred to Nanotyrannus, now no longer recognized as a valid genus), but serrations are preserved. Identifiable down to the genus and species level since Hell Creek did not have any tyrannosaurids other than Tyrannosaurus rex. -
Hello! I got this dinosaur vertebra from Hell Creek (Montana) a few years back. It was sold to me as a Triceratops vertebra but I don't know how that ID was made. It's not in the best condition (has moss(?) on it and has been broken and then glued back together) but it is about 13-14 centimetres across so it is clearly from a big dinosaur, but there were plenty of those in Hell Creek (even two large ceratopsids - Triceratops and Torosaurus). Looking for any insight into how an ID could be made here and if Triceratops (or even just ceratopsid) is correct

Hi everyone, I am looking to get a Dromaeosaurus tooth and found 2 that are labeled as such. The serrations look different to me so I am not sure which one I should go with. I did browse through some old threads and saw some discussions about Dromaeosaurus not being found in Hell Creek which only confused me more. #1. Hell Creek, Harding County, South Dakota #2. Hell Creek, Carter County, Montana

I’ve had this claw from the Hell Creek Formation, Carter County, Montana for many years now and haven’t thought to try and identify it. I assume it’s from a juvenile or infant but would love to know more about it as I’m not very knowledgeable. Length is 0.7” so it’s fairly small. Thanks!

I've been combing through some miscellaneous hell creek specimens over the past couple of weeks & have come up stumped on a couple of chunk-o-saurus fossils. I'm wondering if anyone recognizes this bone. Its part of a formed edge, meaning it seems to have a noticeable structure to it. I'm just not sure who it may have belonged to or what part of the skeleton it may be from. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

I'm wondering what this is. My best (non-expert) guess is that it is a toe bone of some sort. It's about a couple inches (appx. 5cm) in length & equally wide. It resembles some smaller Hadrosaur phalanges I've come across, but that is just a guess. To the best of my knowledge, it hails from Hell Creek. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, I haven't posted an ID in a while as I'm at college and don't have ready access to my fossils to take pics. However tonight, through sheer coincidence, I noticed a recognizable fossil online after looking at the new discovery of an albanerpetonid amphibian preserved in amber. After checking if these amphibians had been found in the Hell Creek I see an image come up of a jaw identified as belonging to scapherpeton (a true salamander) and recognized some features similar to a specimen of my own which I had never posted. I found this small jaw section in the Hell Creek fm. of North Dakota and while I don't remember a specific measurement I am confident that is was about 1 cm in length give or take a few mm. Here's the pic of the jaw I saw online, posted by the national museum of natural history on their google arts and culture page. Here's my small jaw:

Hi I saw this on an auction site. The website claims it is "Dromaesaurus" which does not make sense in my opinion. I was wondering what it is instead? Also, since the teeth are quite different in terms of size and shape I am wondering if it is a composite. Formation: Hell Creek Location: Montana, USA Length: 5.5 inch , 14cm

In this image, you can see the enamel, dentine, and pulp cavity. The surface is worn flat and smooth. Nice blue color in there. -
Hello, I saw these fossils, according to the seller they are dinosaur vertebrae, found in Hell Creek, but he does not mention any species or group of dinosaurs. What I want to know is if they look like dinosaurs to you, either ornithopod or theropod, and if they look like other hell creek fossils you've seen. Thanks in advance.

Hi I need help ID this bone. Location : Carter country , Montana: Hell creek formation it is quite small and hollow.. May be from limb bone of theropod dinosaur ? i am not sure pls help. thank Guns.

Hi All For your consideration, I have a Hell Creek claw that I believe to be from Anzu pes claw. It has the pinch at the bottom of the claw that @Troodon had described prior. Right at 2 inches. Seems to have some restoration at the distal tip. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Hi all. I have a claw that I am considering. 1.75 inches. No restoration that I can see. Thanks in advance.

Should I restore this, or Keep as is? T-Rex gastralia.
PrehistoricWonders posted a topic in Fossil Preparation
Hi everyone, do you all think this would look better with the cracks filled and fully restored or as is?

I saw this for sale as a theropod finger bone from Hell Creek, Garfield County. I googled theropod finger bones and nothing seems to match at all. To me, It looks more like a hadrosaur finger bone. Any thoughts? Thanks

Hello, Just wondering if this is as described? A thesc claw would go well with my teeth and vertebra. From Hell Creek. Thanks
