Why Dino Collectors need to have Material Verified
Troodon posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I urge caution to all collectors buying or trading from dealers, diggers or fellow collectors. Most collectors, diggers or dealers are honest and trustworthy but not all have a firm handle on identification and I'm seeing this situation worsening not improving. Its not easy even for paleontologists who are trained. I include collectors because like myself, have over the years, been sold misidentified material. So dont trust anything you see offered to you and get it verified. Here is just a sampling of a few items I've run across. Provenance is very important in identi- 12 replies

Hi I decided to make a post about my main research project right now on Campanian Tyrannosaurs specifically Daspletosaurus. Today I have found something to tell teeth from the Judith River Formation and Dinosaur Park Formation. This could also do with the Tyrannosaurs prey or locality. I found out that Judith River Formation Tyrannosaur teeth serrations are more circular and more round compared to the same time Dinosaur Park Formation Tyrannosaur teeth serrations. The Dinosaur Park Formation Tyrannosaur teeth serrations are more longer skinner and more chiseled like but not like other Tyrannos

This topic is for information purposes of an experience I just encountered when looking at a Tyrannosaurid tooth on an auction site. You often see me request additional locality information when trying to ID a dinosaur tooth. I'm always concerned that the sellers provenance is not specific enough when it comes to material from Montana or Alberta to verify that the Formation provided is correct since it affects identification. Here is a good example of one case that paid off. In this case what was being offered for sale was several listings of Albertosaurus teeth from

I bought this tyrannosaur tooth a while back and it says it’s a albertosaurus, gorgosaurus, or daspletosaurus. Is there anyway to narrow it down any further? It says it was found in the Judith river formation of eastern Montana and it measures just over an inch. Any and all help is appreciated.

Hello everybody So I got this small tooth from Hill County, Montana, Judith River Formation, labeled as a Theropod indet. tooth. Length is just around 0.5 inches. CM as seen in the pictures. Any hope for an ID beyond Theropod indet? Thx!

Hi all, I recently acquired this Theropod indet. tooth speculating it might be a Dromaeosaurus albertensis. It was found in the Judith River Fm., is 0.72 inch long and serration count over 5mm is 20 mesial and 18 distal. It is a very stout tooth, so might as well be a Tyrannosaurid. It has a twist in the mesial carina and though denticles are very close in width, mesial ones are shorter, and the shape of denticles does not look classic Tyrannosaurid to me. I would like hear your opinions please.

I was going to wait until tomorrow night to post the 3rd tooth but i got around to taking some pictures and measurements now so here is Unidentified Theropod Tooth #3. Judith River Formation Hill County Montana Crown height 15 mm ( broken base ) Serration count 17 per 5 mm distal 20 per 5 mm mesial I do not see a twist in the mesial carina This tooth is more compressed than the other two teeth the first being dromaeosaurus. Saurornitholestes perhaps?? @Troodon

This is the second unidentified theropod tooth i just recently received. This tooth has a broken tip and its missing most of the mesial serrations. These are the measurements i observed followed by pictures for your own assessment. TOOTH 2 JUDITH RIVER FORMATION HILL COUNTY MT Crown height 12 mm ( missing tip ) Distal serrations are 3 per mm Mesial are 4 per mm There looks like there is a twist in the mesial carina Dromaeosaurus/Tyrannosaur?? @Troodon

Whats up everyone!? So i just received 3 new " Unidentified Theropod " teeth . I will be posting 1 a night for the next 3 nights. All of these teeth were found in the Judith River Formation in Hill County Montana. Heres Tooth #1 Judith River Formation Hill County MT CH 16.5 mm 14 serrations per 5 mm on the distal side of the tooth 17.5 serrations on the mesial side of the tooth Twist present on the mesial carina My thoughts - Dromaeosaurus Albertensis..... Tell me what you all think? @Troodon

Hi just got these two fossils today! And was wondering did I get it right on saying this Daspletosaurus tooth was a mesial tooth? Also i called it a Daspletosaurus because it’s DSDI was over 1.2 and I think it’s a mesial tooth. In the photo it’s beside my smaller Judith River Tyrannosaur indet tooth. Also is it possible to tell what this dinosaur finger bone is? Thank you! dinosaur finger bone

Two Daspletosaurus species present in the Judith River Formation?
dinosaur man posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Hi I heard there are two Judith River Formation Daspletosaur species, an earlier one and older, is this true? Because the Daspletosaurus specimen Sir William being an older species from 79 to 77.5 mya and possibly D.torosus, D.honeri or another new species being the younger Daspletosaur species from 77.5 to 75 mya. Or is it just one Daspletosaurus in the Formation? -
I just got this and it will be arriving soon, It will be my largest dinosaur tooth yet once It comes. It’s a Tyrannosaur indet for now and it’s from the Judith River Formation. Just wanted to share this. I wanted to share more information compared to my other topic.

In 2017 a study came out claiming that Troodon is a dubious genus (not invalid like some people claim!), he goes on to state that any new fossil discoveries assigned to Troodon would need to be from the Judith river formation. He later implys that the only fossil of Judith river formation troodon is the holotype specimen (which is a tooth). The last part is actually false! I want to create a discussion around this as they have been many teeth, eggs and even vertebrae from the Judith river formation that seem to suggest that the 2017 is flawed.

I just got this tooth in the mail today. It’s a partial tyrannosaur tooth, and it’s from the Judith river formation. I know it was found in Montana, but that’s it for locality. Despite it being partial, it’s approximate 1.25 inches long, and it looks to me like it would have been much larger if complete. I know that Daspletosaurus and Gorgosaurus teeth are indistinguishable, and that you can really only call teeth around 3.5 inches Daspletosaurus. I was wondering if it would be safe to assume that this is a partial Daspletosaurus tooth because the small piece I have is already over an inch, an

Next up in my collection is this one that was sold to me as a possible saurornitholestes langstoni tooth. From the Judith River Formation in Wheatland Co. MT. CH is 9 mm. Serrations are 15 per 3 mm on the posterior of the tooth and 23 per 3 mm on the anterior of the tooth. @Troodon

Hey everyone, I recently came across these two teeth online. They're both pretty worn down and might no longer possess the features necessary for a more detailed ID, but I'd appreciate your help in confirming that these are actually Hadrosaurid teeth. [images attached are the seller's] Tooth 1 comes from the Judith River Formation of Montana; measuring roughly 9mm [not specified in which direction; I assume depth].  Tooth 2 comes from parts of the Aguja Formation in Western Texas; measuring approximately 13x11mm [not specified along

I have 2 campanian tyrannosaur fossils, one from the Judith river formation from Blaine county in Montana, and another where the only locality I know of is that’s from the two medicine formation. I was wondering if the locality can help determine between Gorgosaurus, Daspletosaurus and Albertosaurus, or if any formations are limited as to which species is present.
