Hi, I saw this odd looking skull for sale. Labelled as Psitacco, but parts of it don't match Psitacco--the stretched beak and the eyes. Is it a different species, or is it looking odd purely because it got squashed during fossilisation? 7.5 inches long.

Small Yixian Formation teeth - Psitaccosaurus or Jeholosaurus
FF7_Yuffie posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello, I bought these four rooted teeth. They are from Yixian Formation, Lujiatun Bed. The seller didn't know if Psitaccosaurus or Jeholosaurus. Looking for info online is tricky, since I couldn't find much at all to compare too.. I am wondering if anyone has any insight, or whether these teeth are indeed more than likely ceratopsid rather than from a small ornithopod? Also, looking at images of the Jerholosaurus skull, their teeth look to be a bit more diamond shape than these. They are approximately 1.9 cm long including root. The crown on the largest is 0.6mm. Pic 1 - all together Pic 2 and Pic 3 - both sides of tooth 1 Pic 4 and 5 - both sides of tooth 2 pic 6 and 7 - both sides of tooth 3 pic 8 and pic 9 - both sides of tooth 4 Thanks for the help.- 4 replies

The collector who I buy my Chinese pterosaur fossils from gave me some info about Psitaccosaurus fossils since I inquired about one he had. I thought I will share it here in case anybody is considering thinking about buying one. He isn't a commercial seller--a collector who sells fossils he finds and on behalf of fossil collectors, who I hope it doesn't break the rules of discussing sellers to post what he informed me. Think it's useful for people to know "The Psittacosaurus fossil. Please always remember that you get what you pay for. Most Psittacosaurus are chucked together. It is impossible to get a complete one now. So, worker would keep all pieces and when they can make up a complete body, they will do it easily. We can't judge it just from the pictures." So, it seems that they are all composited over a period of time, to such an extent that it is very difficult to tell the difference. He also sent two photos which I have also attached showing composited Psitaccosaurus which, to my eye look very well done.
