This is a sauropod tooth from Irhazer formation, Niger. It measures almost 2 inches from tip to base, and the widest part measures 0.9 inches. The seller mentioned this tooth may be a Jobaria, but there is no Jobaria have been described from the Irhazer formation. The Irhazer formation underlies the Tioraren formation where Jobaria was reported. The only spoon-shaped teeth sauropod known from the Irhazer formation is Spinophorosaurus, but the teeth has no serration on it. According to the paper 'Sauropod Tooth Morphotypes from the Upper Jurassic of the Lusitanian Basin (Portugal)' , the tooth looks very similar to the compressed-cone chisel tooth, which attributed to macronarian or basal titanosauriforms. http://novataxa.blogspot.com/2017/03/sauropod-teeth-jurassic-portugal.html base of the tooth

Anyone can find restoration? (Tyrannosaurid indet tooth)
TeethCollector posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I saw a tooth of an Tyrannosaurid Indet. The price looks good and the size is 3.3 inches including the repaired lower end. The seller told that this is from Judith River Formation, Northern Montana, and No restoration. Can anyone find any evidence of restoration? I can't find any... And.. this is another one from the same seller. This is also Tyrannosaurid indet, and from JRF.

Hi, I saw this for sale and figured it'd be nice to display alongside my Kem Kem Sauropod teeth. But is it actually a dermal scute as described? I see a few others of these sold as sauropod scutes, but it just be a case of misidentification, so figured it best to check here. It is from Kem Kem. Sellers description says these are sold as scutes but that he hasn't seen any scientific papers describing them as such, so the ID could be wrong. Thanks

I need help identifying these sauropod teeth from Yixian Formation
-Andy- posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi all, I have several sauropod teeth from the Yixian Formation of Liaoning that I need help identifying. This is Tooth 1 - White Length: 44 mm Formation: Jianshangou Beds of Yixian Formation Locality: Chaomidianzi, Sihetun, Beipiao, Liaoning Province I believe this is a Dongbeititan dongi tooth as this tooth has the morphology of titanosauriform teeth, and Dongbeititan is the only titanosauriform from that locality as far as I know. The formation is based off the locality of Chaomidianzi (my source was confident of that locality) --- This is Tooth 2 - Red Formation: Lujiatun Bed of Yixian Formation Locality: Yanzigou, Shangyuan, Beipiao, Liaoning I believe this is a cf. Euhelops sp. tooth as this tooth has the morphology of titanosauriform teeth, and cf. Euhelops sp. is the only titanosauriform from that locality as far as I know. The formation is based off the locality of Yanzigou and the red matrix. I've compared this matrix to multiple Yanzigou locality fossils of the Lujiatun Beds and they are identical My ID is based off this paper "Basal titanosauriform (Dinosauria, Sauropoda) teeth from the Lower Cretaceous Yixian Formation of Liaoning Province, China" --- This is Tooth 3 - Partial Formation: Lujiatun Bed of Yixian Formation Locality: Yanzigou, Shangyuan, Beipiao, Liaoning I believe this is a cf. Euhelops sp. tooth as this tooth has the morphology of titanosauriform teeth, and cf. Euhelops sp. is the only titanosauriform from that locality as far as I know. The formation and locality is based off the red matrix in the cross section. This tooth was resold from my source but he confirms it's definitely within Beipiao and either from Yanzigou or Sihetun. I've compared this matrix to multiple Yanzigou locality fossils of the Lujiatun Beds and they are identical --- This is Tooth 4 - Tiny Formation: Yixian Formation Locality: Sihetun, Beipiao, Liaoning This is the toughest tooth of all due to its size and incompleteness. It's the top half of a spoon-shaped crown. Again, the source admits being a reseller but he promises the locality is accurate. I believe this is a Titanosauriform indet. I showed this tooth to @hxmendoza and he agrees it's a tooth, not a claw. The closest match I can find to this tooth is MSNM V6214 from "Sauropod teeth from the Middle Jurassic of Madagascar, and the oldest record of Titanosauriformes" May I have your thoughts on these IDs please? Thank you.

Hello, any thoughts on this? Sold as UK Sauropod from Abingdon. I've struck out so much with these, but fingers crossed ... 11 x 12 x 5.5cm Many thanks

I recently acquire this tooth from Kem Kem basin , Morocco . size at 2 cm long . I think it look just like the Nigersaurus tooth from Paper publication attached below But as far as i know there is no Nigersaurus present in kem kem ?? or this tooth is just another sauropod indet. ? What do you think ? Best regard Guns

I was trying to find the largest sauropod ever and have seen upwards of over 200 feet long, I know most of these giant estimates are based off only a few bones so I guess my question is what is the longest sauropod with a reliable length, and are some of these less reliable estimates still larger than others even at the lower estimate. Thanks guys in advance

Hello, I'm more hopeful about this one. It looks different than the other verts that are for sale which are usually misidentified plesiosaur/pliosaur verts. Plus, while it has a couple of holes at the bottom--they are nowhere near as distinct as others. It is from Abingdon, Kimmeridge Clay. Dimensions are 6.5 x 5 x 7 Now, I haven't seen Sauropod verts listed for sale which are this shape--which half makes me think it's something else entirely. But, then again, most sauropod verts from the UK are misidentified so I can't really judge with others listed for sale. Anyway, thanks for taking a look.

Hello, I am interested in these, sold as Cetiosaur. From Abingdon. Sauropod fossils are found there, but a lot sold are plesiosaur/pliosaur verts that are misidentified. So if anyone could take a look and give your thoughts on these, that would be great. The centrum shape doesn't resemble the shape of the sauropod vert I have from that fromation, but it could easily be from a different species or something. Anyone, two verts. 1st one -- 7.5cm by 3.5 cm.

Greetings Fossil Forum members..I am looking for a positive Identification on this specimen, which was found on private property in New Mexico, near the town of Edgewood..Appears to be cast/mold of the contents inside an embryonic egg...I have circled in red highlighter what I believe to be the enlongated, oversized head of this unidentified creature, thought (by me) to be the unborn offspring of an unidentified type of smaller sized plant eating dinosaur, or Sauropod...

Stegosaurus tooth and unknown sauropod teeth from Morrison and Cloverly Formation
-Andy- posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi all, I have 3 teeth here I need help with The first is a Stegosaurus tooth: It comes from Wyoming, USA. Morrison Formation. It looks like a Stego tooth to me in terms of size and morphology, based off this thread > --- Next, a supposed Barosaurus tooth: It comes from Sundance, Wyoming. Morrison Formation. I cannot find any good literature on Barosaurus teeth. This tooth doesn't seem to have the spade-like shape I usually associate with Camarasaurus teeth. --- Lastly, there is a sauropod tooth from the Cloverly Formation: It comes from Montana, USA. Cloverly Formation. I presume it is a Titanosauriform indet. based off these two papers: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/254315252_The_Beginning_of_the_Sauropod_Dinosaur_Hiatus_in_North_America_Insights_from_the_Lower_Cretaceous_Cloverly_Formation_of_Wyoming https://www.researchgate.net/publication/236886285_Vertebrate_Paleontology_of_the_Cloverly_Formation_Lower_Cretaceous_I_Faunal_Composition_Biogeographic_Relationships_and_Sampling Can I have your thoughts on these 3 teeth? Thank you. - Andy

Hello, I'm interested in getting one, maybe both of these. Sold as Borthriospondylus, but, unless I'm misaken, that's a name attached to fossils to sell them and a better labelling is Eusauropoda. Anyway, unfortunately, there is no formation, I emailed seller and he doesn't know. But both teeth are from Madagascar, 164 million years old. I was wondering, are they both from the same species? While they both look similar and have a similar shape around the base, tooth number 1 has a flatter top--does this mean they're from two different species, or does it just have more feeding wear than the others. Incidentally, tooth number 1 I found has been posted here before a couple of years ago--ID'd as Eusauropoda. Tooth 1 - 15mm. Tooth 2 - 17 mm Many thanks.

Any thoughts on this? Being sold as sauropod cetiosaurus vertebra from Kimmeridge Clay. 11cm x 12 x 5.5 The hole at the bottom, seller says is predation from a scavenger -- size and shape matching croc or pliosaur. I'm suspecting plesiosaur, looking at a drawing of cetiosaur verts I found online. This one seems too rounded. Any thoughts, much appreciated. Attached the drawing below too.

One of a couple of teeth I'm interested in--figure it's time to add some more exotic teeth to my collection. This caught my eye, Eusauropoda tooth from Madagascar. 0.56 inches, from the Isalo Formation, Majunga, Madagascar. If it's as described, that would be great. Thanks very much. Edit: meant to post in id. Not is it real

Hi again! I see this tooth and I will try to get it. The owner told me that It’s from Riodeva, Teruel (Spain) I read some articles and the id seems correct... What do you think? I read too that spanish fossils are forbidden, Can I have any problem? Thanks!

Hi, Saw this fossil for sale and the seller believes it might be a partial vertebra from a Sauropod. It is from the Kem Kem in Morocco and I am not sure if there are enough diagnostic features to be sure, anyone have an idea as to what it might be?. It is 22cm in length. Thanks.

While digging holes for sage bushes at my mother's house in Granbury, we found this. Both pieces appear to fit together. Is it a fossil? If so, of what? Should we dig some more? Or am I totally wrong? I have additional photos. Thank you.

Some cool Jurassic Dino teeth that are not Morrison Formation
fossilsonwheels posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
I’ve been slowly working on improving our Jurassic dinosaur fossil collection. One of the major goals has been expanding beyond North America and the Morrison Formation. We recently picked up two fossils that accomplish that goal. Up first we we have a pretty nice sauropod tooth from Madagascar. This is from what is usually referred to as the Isalo III Formation. I believe the Sakahara formation would be the more accurate name given this comes from Andronomamy. This tooth is kind of interesting. It matches the Eusauropoda morphology of a paper published on sauropod teeth from Madagascar. I researched this a bit further to see if I could maybe get it to a family level. This tooth seemed be close to the morphology of the French sauropod Vouivria, which is a basal Brachiosaurid. Based on what I read, Vouivria was described from material that had been assigned to Lapparentosaurus which is what I thought this tooth might be except it doesn’t match the morphology of the Brachiosaurid/Titanosauriformes teeth in the paper. After my brain imploded from trying to figure this out, I decided to just say we have a nice Eusauropoda tooth from Madagascar lol

Hello, thoughts on this vert? It looks repaired (I ask seller to clarify repairs). But is it Sauropod? Cervical vert. 7cm by 9cm by 7cm. Which to me seems very small for a sauropod. Thanks
-
Labelled as unidentified dinosaur claw, most likely a sauropod. Mentioned it's a baby claw. To me it looks like some sauropod claws I see for sale, just smaller--but it could easily be a turtle spur? 3/4" long. From Tegana Formation, Kem Kem Basin. Any help would be great.

Labelled as sauropod. Photo 1 and 2 is 5 inch by 3.5 inch Photo 3 and 4 is 12 cm by 13.5 cm x 4.9 cm Both are from Oxfordshire. So I'm guessing if they are sauropod, they are probably cetiosaurus. Thanks very much
