Authentic Acheroraptor tooth?
JessaB posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello, I found this listed as a 0.31” Acheroraptor tooth from the Hell Creek Formation in Montana. I messaged the seller asking about the locality/specific area it was found in and am waiting to hear back. Does it look like a genuine raptor tooth? -
Is this raptor tooth authentic?
JessaB posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello, This is my first time posting so I hope it follows all the rules! My sister loves archaeology and paleontology so I wanted to get her a fossil for her birthday. Her absolute favorite dinosaur is the velociraptor so I’ve been looking at raptor teeth and came across this one that claims to be from a velociraptor (the only one I’ve found that’s that specific genus). It says it’s from the Judith River Formation in Montana. Does it look like an authentic raptor tooth and is it possible to know what type of raptor it is? Thanks for your help! 5BE3CE06-4AA8-45B8-A703-A5266E5AD5E1- 10 replies

I bought this tooth and in my limited knowledge I'm not sure it's a raptor, I do not have a big collection of teeth to compare it to, so I figured I'll ask the experts. Hellcreek formation, MT. 4 denticles/mm it's the same both sides, 13.6mm CH, 4.2mm CBW, 9.07mm CBL both sides denticles look the same to me. If any more pictures are needed, I can get them. also sorry about the photos I'm getting a better magnifying device, my little coin one isn't too good for big over all pictures.

Buonasera ! Browsing online looking for KK teeth, I came across a site that sells several products, including these "raptor teeth" from KK. Is this plausible? I don't think I've ever read about dromaeosaurids found in the KKB, furthermore some would seem to have the appearance of being small carcharodontosaurus teeth...

These fossils are from the Hell Creek Formation. The seller said it was a raptor's tooth. Can you guess what species of teeth it is? This is the first tooth the second tooth

Hi FF, I recently bought a "raptor tooth" that came from the Kem Kem beds in Morocco. I wanted to make an information card for it in the display (it’s a gift for a young paleontologist), but the description said “These small theropod dinosaurs from the Tegana Formation have yet to be described, primarily due to lack of articulated bone material having been found in the formation." Someone told me that it was most likely from an Abelisaur (rather than a raptor), and recommended that I ask for advice on this site. I'm just trying to find out more about the fossil and the best

Hi all! I am relatively new to the forum as well as to collecting but I have put together a small collection of various specimens over the last year. This collection will keep growing and I will continue to post when I get new specimens. I have some more small specimens but for now I am only posting a selection of my collection. Enjoy! -Ben

Thanks for everyone's comments! Thank you. -
Hello, this is a very small raptor tooth I found (I can hardly believe I found it lying there, it is so small) and I have tentatively id'd it as Richardoestesia. It is about 3 mm long. Thanks for any help. Mesa Verde Formation - Wyoming. The last 2 pics were taken through a microscope.

Two claw fossils - real or fake?
Norholt posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi all, I picked up a Lot of 15 fossils and one very large whale vertebrae at an auction recently. Sadly it had all been treated as junk and several fossilised teeth had been broken, one tip lost, no identification or history attributed to the items. I find it quite sad when a fossil survives for 100+ million years in nature then gets wrecked immediately in someone’s care because it doesn’t make as much money as a pair of earrings . Anyway, going off topic... so I have this group of unloved fossils - teeth, vertebrae, bone - which I will probably never be able to fully identify. Amongst th -
Hi all. As per request on my last post about the dinosaur eggs. Here is my fossil skeleton inside its matrix from Jiangxi, China. Bought it cheap, no clue what it is or what it could be. I can clearly see a skull, and what appears to be a claw or a hand. Nothing to see on the other side, I assume the rest of the skeleton is inside the matrix. Any help wil be appreciated, but I have let alot of knowledgable people look at it and no one was able to give me anything clear.

Even in the final years of the non-avian dinosaurs, the paravians remained diverse, with many species represented in the famed Hell Creek formation. -
Trading my Aguja Fm dromaeosaur tooth for another rare dromy tooth
-Andy- posted a topic in Member Fossil Trades Bulletin Board
Hello, I am trading my Saurornitholestes sp. from the Aguja Formation of Brewster County, Trans-Peco region, Texas for another rare dromaeosaur tooth. I do not mind an indeterminate genus or species as long as it's from a rare locality, preferably Two Medicine Fm I already have dromaeosaur teeth from the following localities: Hell Creek Fm Judith River Fm Horseshoe Canyon Fm Lance Fm Kem Kem Grp So ideally, I'd like a dromy tooth from another formation. Thank you -
Hi all! Got another tooth here I'm looking for help on ID with. Only unfortunate thing is the exact county is unknown. Bought from an older collection so all the seller knew for sure is Hell Creek Formation. Seller has been very cooperative and is also very interested if an ID can be found with that little caveat. It was labeled dakotaraptor from the old collection. Initial thought was R. gilmorei or nano but doesn't look to have the defined nano pinch. No mesial serrations visible or can be felt. Best picture he could get of the serrations is below as well. Appreciate any inp

I obtained this tooth on a dig back in early June close to Jordan, Montana and was immediately told it was definitely a raptor tooth and was content with that. But more recently I’ve gotten curious and done some reading to try to figure out what exactly it was. From what I’ve read and seen online, it is pretty much a token Acheroraptor tooth with the very apparent ridges and larger serrations on one side while the other has small or none, but I wanted to double check with someone more familiar with the teeth to make sure. I’ll post any pictures requested, thanks! (also, please don’t

Is this a raptor claw? If anyone knows, please let me know. Thanks in advance! Morocco

This was found in Powder River county, Montana. and I was wondering what species it is, they think it’s nano but I’m leaning towards trex as it’s more robust and has a circular bottom

Does this look like an authentic claw? Or carved bone??
-
I was wondering if anyone can verify the descriptions match the fossils. Second one is a lance creek formation fossil, they believe it to be a partial triceratops skull, it looks like a partial skull but not those of a triceratop?

Hi, Any thoughts on this? It is from Garfield, County, Montana. 1.8 cm so it's quite small. The serrations are a bit battered and have matrix stuck on them, but are present. Any thoughts would be appreciated. The white marks, am I right that this is from plant roots wrapped around the tooth? Thanks

Hi TFF, I am a Dromaeosauridae enthusiast and have been collecting online for a little while now. I want to thank the members here for getting me educated on so many aspects of fossil teeth identification. I want to share my small collection in the hopes this is helpful for some of you in the future. Your critical input is highly appreciated, as always! #1 First up, one of my treasures, a robust Deinonychus antirrhopus tooth from the Cloverly Fm. A big thanks to @StevenJD for letting go of this one – much appreciated! Note the asymmetry in the placement of the carinae
