    Phytosaur tooth

    Below is an unidentified phytosaur tooth from the Norian of the Chinle Formation which I've been struggling to identify to a genus or species level. Thanks in advance for any proposed ID's Othniel
  2. Hi everyone! I recently uploaded a pair of expedition videos to YouTube from my September trip to some late Triassic beds in northern Arizona. If you're an old school Walking With Dinosaurs fan, you may be interested to know that this spot is quite close geographically to the famed Placerias Quarry whose fossils were hugely influential in the making of Episode 1, "New Blood". I, and I suspect many of you as well, found WWD and its spinoffs to be easily the most captivating natural history documentaries of their time, and I credit its opening act taking place in my home state as playing an influential role in why I ended up in this field of study. I spend more of my time these days working in Cretaceous rocks than anything else, so coming back to the Triassic is something of a homecoming for me. Fossils at this locality are abundant but frequently in rough shape, since they begin to erode and fragment while still several inches below the surface. Teeth, like the phytosaur crown above, hold up better and are usually among the best finds of each trip. I also collected some fragments of metoposaur skull or clavicle (watch the second video in particular if you're interested in these guys!) but I will hold off until I've finished gluing the pieces together before sharing here. 😉 While large stretches of Chinle beds in northern Arizona are now federally protected under Petrified Forest National Park, these protected areas do not extend over the entirety of Arizona's late Triassic province. A short walk away from where I collected fossils is this massive excavated pit that has cut down through the fossil-bearing layers. This burial site of over 200 million years will soon become a landfill for human waste. I think this is an important reminder of why we collect fossils in the first place: 'everything not saved will be lost'.
  3. Hello, I'm simply looking to buy a phytosaur tooth and I was wondering if it's authentic. The pictured tooth is from the Redonda Formation of New Mexico and Triassic in age. Thank you.
  4. Hello everyone, this specimen has been advertised as a phytosaur scute from the Triassic of Northeastern Arizona. I'm curious if this piece is genuine and unmodified as it is relatively cheap. I'm also wondering if it isn't metoposaur scute as I've not seen a phytosaur scute like this. As always, any help is appreciate, thank you.

    Possible Phytosaur tooth?

    Went fossil hunting in the cumnock formation of North Carolina and as I was rinsing some of my dirty fossils one of them caught my eye. The curved shape is what threw me off and reminded me of a tooth. I double checked on here and saw another person that had something that looked similar to this and was a tooth. But just be sure, wanted to see what you guys think. Your input is appreciated! (Bottom picture is the confirmed Phytosaur tooth)

    Phytosaur tooth?

    Can anyone identify this correctly? It was suggested to me it is a croc (phytosaur) tooth.

    Phytosauridae?

    Hello everyone. There is such a vertebra in my old collection. The label is "Phytosauridae".The information is only:Bull Canyon Formation,New Mexico,USA Is it Phytosauridae ? Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.
  8. Hello, I bought this tooth from a popular fossil selling website where it was labelled as 'Postosuchus?' but the description says it is from the Redonda Formation which has not had a Postosuchus formally described from it. I'm aware there a few other species from this formation that are also pseudosuchians and could have a similar type of tooth, which I do not mind if it is one of them. Although, I absolutely love Postosuchus as a creature and I hoping that is what it is, though I know it's definitely unlikely. From my research, I assume it's Redondasaurus but this particular site has several other teeth from this formation specifically labelled as Redondasaurus so I assume there is a reason why they labelled this one and a few others differently. I've seen small teeth like this labelled as Coelophysis but I know that's extremely unlikely because it's not recurved but if it was that would be super cool! I don't have the greatest lighting equipment in my house to take pictures of it, but I can provide some shotty ones if that would be helpful! The tooth is 0.74 inches long, so quite small. The picture below is from the website I bought it from and it shows the detail much better than a photo I could take. Please don't be afraid to disappoint me! I just want to know what this tooth is!

    Triasic Archosaur Tooth

    Loc: https://www.geopark-thueringen.de/entdecken-erleben/nationale-geotope/standard-titel Age: Triassic, Keuper For wchich Archosaur, this tooth belongs? I know that it's hard to say, but maybe somebody can do this
  10. I have collected quite a few interesting fossils from the Redonda formation, and I will be posting to this thread as I take photos. Two very large vertebrae to start- likely belonging to the Phytosaur Redondasaurus.

    New additions to my collections!

    Hi everyone! I want to introduce some new additions to my teeth collections. 1. Nodosaur tooth from Judith River Formation This tooth is from Hill Co. Montana. Has nice set of serrations, and 10 mm wide. There are two genus of Nodosaur known from Judith River F. : Edmontonia and Palaeoscincus, thus, this is a Nodosaurid indet. 2. Pygmy sperm whale (Kogiopsis) tooth from Hawthorn Formation This tooth has no tip, but have enamel and root. This is slightly larger than 3 inches.
  12. Hello, I just wondered if anyone has seen something like this before. This tooth is from the Redonda formation, in Quay Co., NM. It measures 34mm long, and has a misplaced 8mm ridge of serrations, in addition to the two main edges that most teeth of this type have.

    Spinosaurus?

    I’ve had this a few years labeled as spinosaurus. However it looks different that 99% of spinosaurus I’ve seen so just wanted to check it’s about an inch long. Merry Christmas everyone

    Triassic Bone - phytosaur?

    Probably from Petrified Forest member. Literature says phytosaur remains a common occurrence. Can anybody confirm what it is?
  15. Hello all Up for trade I offer this nice set of Shark tooth Hill teeth from Kern County California. In return for this set, or individual teeth I would like to get crocodile or crocodile-like (alligator, Phytosaurs...) teeth from as many various locations/species as possible. This group of animals is a bit underappreciated I think, but last time I lend some fossils to the local school, there were some crocodile teeth among them and the kids really loved them and that surprised me a bit. Anyway, I hope I can expand my crocodile collection a bit. These teeth are available for trading: Upper row: Allodesmus tooth, two unknown whale teeth, Desmostylus tooth, Allodesmus canine (glued) Lower row: Dolphin ear bone?, Rooted Allodesmus tooth, Rooted whale tooth. I already got: Still undetermined species from the Hell Creek Formation, USA Phytosaur teeth from the Chinle formation, USA Geosaurine Metriorhynchid, from Painten, Germany Unknown species from Unknown formation or location in Argentina Multiple species from the Kem Kem beds in Morocco Sarcosuchus imperator from the Elrhaz formation in NIger. Machimosaurus sp. from Portugal. Yet unidentified tooth from France (Self found). Might be crocodile, might be other reptile. Alligator teeth from Florida USA. What I really want: Big croc tooth from Java, Indonesia Pallimnarchus tooth or jaw piece from Australia Razanandrongobe tooth from Madagascar Kaprosuchus tooth from Niger Deinosuchus tooth from the USA Croc crowns (+6cm) or rooted croc teeth from Kem Kem. Crocodile teeth from Dinosaur bearing formations throughout the USA Canadian croc tooth. I'm also interested in other crocodile teeth, depending on country, or condition.. Size isn't really important. So far, on a map, these are the countries I got crocodile teeth from: Who, oh who could help me to paint this map more red.

    Sacrum Prep

    I’ve been working on this prep on and off for several months for a client and I finally finished it this week. It took 24 hours and there’s a huge pile of rock chips on my bench and lab floor thanks to this! This is the sacrum from a Triassic Phytosaur. Here’s a before and some after photos. This thing was covered in calcite and there were areas where it had displaced the bone and even grew into the bone itself. That stuff will make you lose your religion!

    Phytosaur Tooth ID: Redondasaurus?

    Hi. I was wondering if anyone could help me narrow down the identification of this phytosaur tooth. Is it possible to determine the genus or species from just a tooth? I think Redondasaurus may be a potential match, but it looks like there are a few archosauriforms in the Redonda formation. Thanks for any help. Phytosaur Tooth Triassic, Norian Redonda Formation Quay County, New Mexico CH: 32 mm CBW: 11 mm CBL: 12 mm Distal: 3 serrations/mm Mesial: 3.5 serrations/mm
  18. Hello all! Any insight on this unidentified fossil, from Eastern Arizona, Chinle Formation, would be deeply appreciated. I'm presuming it's a partial phytosaur jaw, but I really have no idea. Originally from a family who collects on their private ranch. Please see images, which includes extreme close-ups. [P.S., this is the 2nd of 5 specimens that I'm posting for ID today; I deeply appreciate any insight that you can provide]. With gratitude, Ryan

    Bull Canyon Formation

    Here are some of my Bull Canyon Formation fossils from New Mexico.
  20. Hi! I recently aqcuired quite a lot of "microfossils" to kick off my Triassic collection, as I personally find it one of the most interesting time periods and while I am aware possibly not all of them are ID'd correctly I just wanted to get some nice fossils from this time period regardless of their ID's. All the fossils I acquired are from the Bull Canyon Formation, Dockum Group, San Miguel County, New Mexico, USA (Norian age) But I myself am not very knowledgeable yet in this material as I just started my collection but I am aware that some if not most of the ID's on these fossils given by the seller might be wrong as everything I read about the Bull Canyon formation says that the formation isn't that well discribed yet. I tried to make the photo's as good as I could, but it wasn't always easy given their extremely small size, so I hope the quality is good enough to work with. So I am kinda hoping is someone here on the forum would like to give it a try to see if he/she could confirm or disprove given ID's. Thank you in advance! The first set of 2 teeth were listed as the Phytosaur "Pseudopalatus" teeth which after doing a bit of research is considered a junior synonym for "Machaeroprosopus" The next collection of 3 teeth were listed as the Pseudosuchian "Revueltosaurus" The next tooth was listed as a "Theropod indet" tooth, and I know there are at least 2 species of theropod present at Bull Canyon, a Coelophysid called Gojirasaurus and a herrerasaurid called Chindesaurus. But I am not even sure whether this tooth is dinosaurian or not. The next set of teeth were listed as "Arganodus" lungfish teeth And the final tooth was listed as a "Sphenodont" (Rhynchocephalia indet.) tooth with affinities to Clevosaurus (which is found in Nova Scotia, Great Britain and China)

    Yet Another Phytosaur Prep

    Here’s another phytosaur I’m starting work on. This one is missing some pieces and we are hopeful the collector can find more this spring. Until then, I have some work cut out for me. It may not look like much now but there appears to be a fully inflated skull under all that sandstone! I’ve already found where some of the random pieces in the trays did and have begun gluing and consolidating. I can see the occipital poking out of the back of the block as well! Finally, a phytosaur that is more prep than puzzle. There are fresh breaks on the maxillae where more should fit. for those bits showing up in a few months.
  22. Date of Trip: June 2018 Location: Quay Co., NM, USA Age: Late Triassic Formation: Redonda This was the second of a number of hunting trips across the country this summer (the first was Silex, MO, reported earlier). This will be the Triassic Vertebrate report from this trip. Triassic invertebrate report will have to wait (perhaps exciting news ). Triassic plants and Cretaceous inverts from the same general locality will also be reported later. These are finds from a coarse-grained fluvial deposit rich in fish remains. In one layer, ganoid fish scales were almost as abundant as the mineral clasts. Here is a view looking down on the bedding plane showing the fish scales laying on top: Here is the same chunk of matrix cut across the bedding planes (i.e. in side view) showing numerous scales in transverse section: Disaggregation of the matrix and rinsing through a sieve yields numerous small, complete scales (scale in mm): Large scales are present in the matrix but heavily fractured and very difficult to extract intact.

    Phytosaur Prep II

    I took delivery of my next major prep job today from @StevenJD. Man, he can sniff out some cool stuff. It is quite a beast! A nice phytosaur from New Mexico. This appears to have most of the skull and a fair bit of postcranial material. This is only what fit on on the table in my shop. There are 3 more boxes of puzzlesaurus as well! I think I’m in for the long haul on this. If the skull comes together well, I will ultimately be mounting this guy.
