I'm not expecting anyone to identify this as such, just wanted to know if it's actually a fragment of fossilised bone since this was my first time fossil hunting (and it was the only thing we found xd). Found it in horseshoe canyon near Calgary, Alberta (yeah I know fossil collecting is extremely strict there, as far as I can tell we followed all the rules), specifically in this white sandy section I've attached a pic of. It didn't look like any of the other stones around and the holey-porous structure of it seems very bone like. (Sorry all I could find for scale is a magic card...)

I found this small theropod tooth (missing the tip) in the Horseshoe Canyon Formation of Alberta a few months ago. I’m not sure on the identity of the tooth, as it’s rather Troodontid or Dromaeosaurid. It has the crown and denticle shape of a troodontid, but the serration density of a dromaeosaurid (about 3 serrations per mm). The serrations are a bit worn down fyi. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hello. I found this 7.5 cm Albertosaurus tooth in the Bleriot Ferry area of the Horseshoe Canyon Formation last month. Based on the wear mark on the end, whereabouts would the tooth be placed within the mouth? (top or bottom?). Is it possible to tell?

Hi, Is this a Dromeosaur vertebra centrum?, Is there anyway to tell If it is? It’s 1.56 inches long, and is from the Drumheller valley of the Horseshoe Canyon Formation of Alberta, Canada. Thank you!!

2018 Alberta photos and Dinosaur Park Formation, Horseshoe Canyon Formation comparison
dinosaur man posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hi I found some of my photos from when I went to Alberta in 2018. I will post more tomorrow but I found this in particular really cool. It’s a comparison of the Dinosaur Park Formation, Dinosaur Provincial Park and the Horseshoe Canyon Formation, Horseshoe Canyon Drumheller. Both photos by me in 2018 I had them side by side each other. It just shows the different Ecosystems that where here millions of years ago!! -
Hi I just bought these two dinosaur fossils from Alberta Canada. A Ceratopsian vert and a Hadrosaur metatarsal. The colouring and look/preservation of the Hadrosaur metatarsal makes me think they didn’t come from the Horseshoe canyon formation like it says but instead the Dinosaur Park formation. since it doesn’t give much information other then the Horseshoe canyon formation it’s possible, Thanks for future help. Ceratopsian vert

Good to see this put to bed. Abstract says it all...abbreviated... Several published censuses have noted the presence of two tyrannosaurids, Daspletosaurus sp. and Albertosaurus sarcophagus, within the Upper Cretaceous Horseshoe Canyon Formation of Alberta............Although none of these methods individually provides convincing evidence regarding the affinities of the specimen, together (and including other historical and biostratigraphic considerations) they strongly imply that the skeleton instead pertains to a young A. sarcophagus. In this way, we show that only a single species of tyrannosaurid is definitively present in the Horseshoe Canyon Formation..... https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ar.24199#.XRitpqp2V8E.twitter Great photos in this paper...good reference material for use in comparative ID's Example:
