Hello Fossil Fans- Once again, I would like to let you all know that the Tate Geological Museum will be running Dinosaur Digs this summer. We have five weeks of excavations open to the public for a somewhat nominal fee. I invite any of you who want to come out to Wyoming and truly experience a dinosaur dig with yours truly as chief bottle-washer to check out the web site: https://www.caspercollege.edu/tate-geological-museum/events/digs I know there are lot of folks here who collect fossils for themselves, so I need to say that these trips are collecting for the Tate Museum, not for personal collecting.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is definitely not the end of a digit from a large carnivorous theropod. The only potentials from the Morrison formation where it was found, would be different species of ceratasaurs, allosaurs, and torvosaurus, right? and they, along with most carnivorous theropods have claws at the end of every digit, including the little foot&heel stubbies, don't they? wouldnt this have to be from something without claws? Or at least no claw on this?

From the album: Dinosaurs and Reptiles
Morrison fm, Moffat county, Colorado 1.6 cm tall -
Recently acquired this very nice tooth from Morrison fm, Moffat County, Colorado. I think it is Marshosaurus, am I right? I am afraid to clean it right now because the tooth is very fragile. Total length is ~1.6 cm. Ruler is in inches, so 1 line=1/16 inch=~1.5 mm, so distal serration density looks to be around 4/mm; mesial carina seems to end at bottom ~3/4 of the tooth, as I understand, these are Megalosaurid characteristics. Although I couldn't find any info on other medium-small sized theropods, like Tanycolagreus, Coelurus or Ornitholestes. Thank you for help! @Troodon By the way, took those pictures with AmScope USB microscope, very useful tool for detailed teeth

I thought about this as an example of bone from the Morrison formation, but realized that I'm not positive that it is bone. It was found southwest of the ghost town of Cisco, UT. Our target site that day was the old Cactus Rat uranium mine. It seemed harmless since the area was already quite disturbed. By the way I do store it in lead flashing.

Is This Torvosaurus Tooth Heavily Repaired/Fake?
Kurufossils posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Can across this one recently on our favorite auction site, a torvosaurus tooth from colorado. Though with no intention of buying especially at the high price tag it is at I have my suspicions, the seller claims it its 100% no repairs or restoration. Looking at the pictures I highly doubt it as it looks extremely repaired to me and some of it especially in the picture zooming into the tip reminds me of the little air holes found in fake cast trilobite. Idk how much is repaired or even if the whole specimen is fake, I'd be interested to hear what you guys think. Definitely a gigantic red flag to me..thumb.jpg.9373eb5533d38514e2c4534642ef6b0a.jpg)

Heyo, I was about to purchase this but figured I should just check in here to be sure. Seller lists this as a partial Diplodocus Coracoid Found in Morrison Formation If better pics are needed the seller can provide them... Thanks, TheSpeedingCarno

A few weeks back while digging in Colorado I found an articulated rib in the Brushy Basin Member of the Morrison Formation. (I think it's a rib) It broke a few time while extracting it but I prepped it and kept the fossil pretty raw. Very little restoration, only gap fills to stabalize. The fossil is about 22" long and has a weird attachment at the end, if I didn't extract it like that I wouldn't think they connect. Just looking for what kind of dinosaur it's from, I'm not an expert on ribs. I think it's from a sauropod but not sure.
