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...

Nice to meet you all at TFF. Please tell me if this is a raptor claw from Kem Kem in Morocco.

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 thing to put on the display card. This is part of the description they gave me: Late Cretaceous (100.5 million years ago - 66 million years ago) Taouz, Kem Kem Basin, Morocco Specimen Size: .73" long or 18.542mm I've attached some pictures of the tooth, and I hope that I followed the post rules correctly. Any advice you have would be appreciated. Thank you! DG

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

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 them all are two claws and I can’t tell if they are real or fake. They are about 3” long, light (21 and 25g), feel brittle and not very dense (like clay though they are obviously not clay). They are not resin or plastic. The thicker claw seems to have a seam around the middle as though two halves have been glued together. What are your thoughts? How do I find out more? I’ll post the other fossils in the ID forum. Many thanks.

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.

Trading my Aguja Fm dromaeosaur tooth for another rare dromy tooth
-Andy- posted a topic in Member-to-Member Fossil Trades
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.thumb.jpg.883eb0de3cc0b3dba42681a13a20495b.jpg)

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 input! Thanks!

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 tell me this tooth is fake or super restored because it is 100% not. I discovered and prepared this tooth myself and the only damage its had is a break that was glued back together near the root. It feels like this should be common sense after saying I found this myself in the post already, but I've already had people tell me I'm posting fake fossils [and arrowheads, but thats a different story])

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

I see a vertical pupil raptor eye and embryo in the egg shaped, smooth rock. I was looking for geodes, I found this tiny geode, broke it open at home, and the other half broke into pieces - 3 or 4 crumbly. I did this 17 years ago. Now, I have joined a lapidary group, ALMS Alabama, and been to a meeting, and I have had this on my shelf for 17 years. I was thinking it is an ugly geode nodule? But then, yesterday I thought, it looks like an egg, it's insides are multicolored like a fossilized egg? I then go my magnifying glass and I can see an eye, and 3 part skull with divisions lines, and the raptor evil eye. I can see a jawbone and mandible seperation, skull sutures seperation, eye, and back bone has these protrusions, humps that have 3 dots on them, like a stegasaurus? But very small, see image. Dime coin is in image. It has a dimple perfect on the outside end of the egg and smooth uniform surface. Also, appears to be a snout and mouth and body, tail, and possibly wing bones, similar to a velociraptor? Can you tell me if it is a dinosaur embryo, fossilized? My book does not show, and these are very rare, China holds the record for smallest embryo. Some dinosaur eggs fossils are as small as 0.7 inches. Tis is bigger than that. Thanks. I have more images. Stop the GIF by tapping on it? It also has the ear hole of hole behind the jawbone mandible.

Hello, So I came across this seller offering a “Dromaeosaurus tooth”, and I was wondering if it was properly ID’d. The serrations are pretty worn up front, so I’m unsure. The only locality that I can get is Judith River Formation, Montana. (IIRC, Dromaeosaurus isn’t found in the Judith River Formation.) The dimensions of the tooth are 1.3 inches long, 0.2 inches wide, and 0.1 inches thick. It’s been a little while since I’ve last posted here, because I was busy with life and university. Hopefully I did things correctly.

I have some weak terrible pics of it, but I think this is a micro Raptor from the Triassic period, size of a cat, first time a bird evolved to dinosaur. I think it's curled up in a ball and died sunk to the bottom of the what use to b ocean for millions of years and was embedded in sand and limestone combined with the water replacing the nutrients of the fossil made it well preserved, similar to the way most matrix would house dino fossilis, except this isn't digging it out of a rock quarry somewhere, this was just a Rock at the bottom of the bottoms in a creek.

Purchase this raptor egg from a gem and mineral show. Was wondering if anybody can identify the species. and if it’s authentic
