Advice whether these are real or not?
Olivia Singh posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi there! I was just wondering if anyone has experience buying and selling dinosaur tooth fossils. I was looking to purchase my first dinosaur tooth as a gift. Many prices on sites can be extremely pricey, I was taking a look on ebay and the prices are relatively cheap for what I'm looking for. I was wondering how to tell whether or not these are authentic tooth fossils. If someone could give me their opinion on purchasing a tooth I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks! -
So since I started collecting fossils, I've been trying to get a nice complete raptor tooth. I bought my first dinosaur teeth (Moroccan theropod tooth and 2 partial raptor from Hell Creek) back in May 2015. Last week, I finally found and bought a beautiful little raptor tooth from Hell Creek Here it is

Partial metatarsal of a Theropod dinosaur. Probably from a Dromaeosaurid. Very similar to metatarsal II and IV of Velociraptor.

Hi, A short while ago, my wife and I collected in a Hell Creek location on a private ranch in SE Montana. Associated finds were Nanotyrannus teeth, Triceratops teeth, as well as a few Hadrosaur and Triceratops bones. My wife found an unusual tooth. It is about 1 cm in length, curved in lingually, curved to the posterior, and it is serrated on the posterior edge. The denticles have a pronounced upward (towards the tip) direction, and the spacing between denticles is greater toward the base of the tooth. On the lingual face, there are pronounced ridges. From a recent post, I am considering Pectinodon or Troodon, as remote possibilities, but the denticles are not so large, oddly spaced, and there are the pronounced ridges. Any ideas? Thanks. Mark

So I was working on a Parasaurolophus and Dodo skull before. For my next project I've chosen Bambiraptor. It was nice to try something really small this time. Though it's quite hard to make some of the smaller details with such a soft material. Carved from foam. I'm mostly done with the skull. Just need to finish up the teeth and jaw. Parts of the appendicular skeleton so far. Stay tuned for updates.

Dromeosaur Raptor Claw
keithmegalodon posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello, I have been wanting to purchase this raptor claw. Would just like to ask if this is an authentic fossil. thanks!

Hey guys, I came across this Hell Creek claw for sale and I really want it if it is in fact from a dromaeosaur. The seller labeled it as a velociraptor claw, which of course I know it isn't. Velociraptors are from Mongolia, are very rare, and are illegal to export. Anyways, it is from Hell Creek. Do you claw experts think it is a theropod dino claw, even further, a raptor claw? I will add more pictures when the seller sends me more. Help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Does Anyone Have/seen Any Utahraptor Material?
Raptor Lover posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Do any of you guys have any Utahraptor fossils or have seen any Utahraptor fossils? -
Does anyone know where to buy a raptor killing claw and how much they cost? I've tried searching it it on google and ebay, but the only thing that comes up is replicas

Hi, I have this "Raptor" tooth from Morocco and it says its Deltadromeus, but I know it's not that because no skeletal material has yet been found. And I'm just wondering if it is from some kind of raptor. I know that there hasn't been any raptor skeletal material found in Morocco, just teeth. Based on the pictures, does the tooth look Dromaeosaurid? Is it still from a raptor? I can post more pictures if needed. Thanks

Hi, I bought this raptor toe bone a few weeks ago. The website said that it is from an unidentified theropod, likely Acheroraptor. Troodon informed me about how not much material has been found of Acheroraptor. And also he said that my bone looks more like a turtle bone than a theropod bone. I think that he's probably right. I just want to hear some more opinions about it. It is from the Hell Creek Formation. Let me know what you guys think!

Hello! I have recently rekindled my love for dinosaurs and have invested in buying dinosaur fossils. I love dromaeosaurs! I already have 4 raptor fossils (3 teeth and a toe bone). Along with my raptor fossils, I have tyrannosaurid tooth, a Spinosaurus tooth, and a desmoceras ammonite. I am interested in anything raptor related!

็hell Creek Dromaeosaur Teeth And Baby Tyrannosaur Teeth - How To Distinguish Them Apart?
AJ Plai posted a topic in Questions & Answers
I recently acquired some Hell Creek Dromaeosaur teeth specimens and examined them just to study their features and get to know them more. Most of the teeth have the rather re-curved and compressed bladed shape with different size of serrations on the interior and anterior serrations until I ran into a few teeth that seem to have a fatter and more conical, with serration on only on the interior side but seem to have no serration on the anterior side. Upon closer examination with the loupe, It doesn't look like it's worn out or anything, just doesn't seem to be there. Here is the Dromaeosaur tooth I am talking about: I have read from somewhere I can't remember now that some Tyrannosaur teeth in certain mouth positions may not have serration such as the triangular-shaped teeth that are often marked as Aublysodon. Plus, when I compared the strange dromaeosaur tooth to one of my small Nanotyrannus tooth that I have (this one was I.D. by CK Preparation to be Nanotyrannus rather than Dromaeosaur) it seem to have a lot in similarity at least from as much as I can tell and assuming that the Nanotyrannus baby tooth I have is really Nanotyrannus. Here is the presumed Nanotyrannus tooth that I have for comparison: So I am wondering, if my dromaeosaur may have been a misidentified baby Tyrannosaur tooth, or there really are Dromaeosaur teeth that have serration on only on the interior side, and perhaps what I really thought is a baby Nanotyrannus tooth is really another off-shoot of the variety of Hell Creek Dromaeosaur teeth? Any insight from Hell Creek theropod experts that could shine a light on my curiosity would be greatly appreciated. Thx

This bird bone was found in Bone Valley. I was told that it is from a raptor/bird of prey, and would like to find out more about what it was from. I have one more photo that I will add in the first comment. -Bill H.

Hello guys. I´m always eager to expand my fossil collection, and recently got the opportunity to buy this one. On the website it is listed as: "Vertebra from dinosaur, probably from raptor/dromaeosaur spec. Good condition, no repair and no restoration. 27 mm long Weight 11 gram Cretaceous Approx 90 myo Tegana, Kem Kem, Morocco" And here´s the images: So, for the reason of the thread, here´s my question to the experts around here: Is there anything distinguishable on this thing that can tell that this fossil is from a dromaeosaur (or even a dinosaur) at all? Help would be highly appreciated. /Sebastian

Newbie, Here! I Ask Lots Of Questions... And Seek Knowledge.

Hello all... My name is Michelle. I started bending down and picking up rocks and looking really close at them when I moved to Montana. It started with me yapping on the phone, walking back and forth on the driveway looking down at the small river rocks and gravel that covered it, and occasionally would stoop to pick a few up and inspect them. I don't know why they interested me, but I sensed there was something "not rock like" about them. One day I found a chalky white one with a small sea shell (same material) embedded on it. Then I was addicted. And it became weird (to everyone else, of course) that I was so fascinated with rocks. When I'd try to show someone a fossil, they'd see a rock. This is frustrating. I was in Montana for only a few years, then returned to Southern California. Now, I believe everywhere I look, there are fossils. And still people only see rocks, boulders, gravel. My boyfriend found a shark tooth in our yard (inland, Menifee, Ca) and I still have trouble convincing him that just below the surface of soil, that rock and that rock, are fossils of something. I just don't know what, is all... Even going to a local museum was mostly disappointing. I gathered up a few of the more obvious looking ones (to me) and take them in to be check out. I took a brittle porous specimen found in my Menifee yard (bubbles rose when it was under water, and bubbled when removed from water), the shark teeth (7 more found in yard since the first one) an oblong egg shaped one from Redondo Beach, Ca.. and a bunch of others. The wire wrapped tooth is the 1st one found. Well, after seeing the shark teeth, they said the porous one might be a juvenile whale bone. They were excited about this, and explained to me this whole area was under water at one time. The oblong one is a "rock", but I'm convinced it was either used like a mortar and pestal by previous people, or it's an egg. And here's the disappointing part, everything else... rocks. I asked about dinosaurs in the area, and was told "oh, you won't find anything like that, because it was all under water when they existed". Ummm.... okay....Exactly what is a plesiosaur? But a swimming dinosaur... And do we know the dinosaurs did not go in the water... ever? I know snakes, alligators, turtles, iguanas, pretty much most of those critters, can and will swim if they want to. So, anyway. I come seeking knowledge I'd like to start with these pictures and get some opinions, please.
