This was labeled as a Phorusrhacid, possibly Bathornis and was found in the Brule Formation of South Dakota. Is that accurate?

Hello everyone ! I bought this Tyrannosaur tooth and the seller told me it was either a Tyrannosaurus rex or a Nanotyrannus. Can you tell me if it's a T-rex or a Nanotyrannus ? It's a premaxillary tooth. It comes from Hell Creek formation in South Dakota.

Hello, I'm interested to know if there's any way to narrow down what kind of animal this fossil is from? My dad tells me it was given to him by my great grandmother, who likely purchased it from a university in Western South Dakota in the 1940s or 50s. Our assumption is that it would have been discovered in that area, around that time. The fossil is about 4" x 1.5". I think it's so cool, but beyond guessing that it's "a bone" from "an animal that had bones," I'm at a loss. Thanks for any help!

Found this while rock hounding in southeast South Dakota. The color (when it was wet) caught my eyeā¦but after getting it home and dried it outā¦you can see in the pictures what I believe to be bone? Thoughts?

Hello, Wondering if this is T.rex? Or Nano? It measures 1.25 inches and is said to be from the Hell Creek Fm. of South Dakota, no county unfortunately. The base doesn't seem 100% complete but from what is there I don't think is has the expected "pinch" of a Nano. Thoughts? Thanks.

Hello, I am making a great of in-situ pictures of my fossil hunting trips for this year. We now have a foot of snow in the ground so fossil hunting season is over. ā¹ļø These pictures occur in Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota and North Dakota. Mostly Cretaceous aged sites but some Eocene from ND. They are mostly tooth related. I hope everyone likes in-situ pics as much as I do!

Hi - I need help identifying whether this is a fossil. It has lots of ābone-lookingā parts sticking out. Hoping you can help. I found this while hiking in the Black Hills of SD.

Hello, I purchased a huge box of Badlands mammal stuff a while ago and was able to identify mostly everything. I had some trouble with these two jawbones, though. I'm not really expecting them to be anything surprising but it would help me to put a definite label on them. in both the teeth looked a little like an amphicyonid's but that might just be wishful thinking! Thanks again! #1 #2: For scale

2022 trip to South Dakota to hunt the Hell Creek and Pierre shale.
hadrosauridae posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
A little slow in getting around to posting. 2 weeks ago my son and I got back from our yearly trip up north for fossil hunting. Like most years, we haul the tenement on wheels with us to save the crazy costs of hotel stays. We started out for the first 4 days in the Hell creek, digging with Walter Stein of PaleoAdventures. The first day was a little slow with lots of small tumbled bone bits and spitter teeth. Only bigger find was an unknown that I began to uncover, but didnt complete that day. The second day we changed where we were excavating and I- 6 replies

I spent some time meandering through South Dakota in May, taking in the sprawling forests and mountains. Itās truly a beautiful area of the country with plenty to see and do. ^ Pareidolia clearly in full effect. Since I was in SD, I knew I had to pay a visit to the BHI - and if you happen to like fossils, I think youāll enjoy tagging along. The BHI is a private company which specializes in producing cast replicas for museums and the general public. Until October 2020, they played host to the T. rex āStan,ā who was auctioned off for $32 million; it has recently bee

I have never found a jaw like this. The only thing I can find that is similar is tapir which would be pretty rare for this area. Found in south central South Dakota. Miocene

I found this fossil today in the badlands of south Dakota in a crevice at the bottom of a butte. I did not remove it but am impatient and with the photos I supplied, the paleontologist at the visitors center had a hard time identifying it and I am extremely curious to know what it may be. The round part of the bottom picture continues to be almost perfect oval through the top, however a chunk had broken off there. The discolored brown line in the crevice in the center of the first picture appeared to be bone that just barely breached the surface of the specimen (too hard to picture).

I found this wonderful coprolite in river rock surrounding shrubbery at a Howard Johnson's in Rapid City SD about 30 years ago. I've always wondered what creature may have produced it. Do you have any ideas? Length is 2.75 inches. See images.

Headed to Sioux Falls South Dakota next week. I know it is not the glamourous end of the state but was wondering if there were places to fossil hunt in the area or within a few hour drive? Nick

I was hoping some folks on the forum could confirm this ID for me. I found this interesting little piece in the hell creek formation of South Dakota back in July with Paleoprospectors. I was told by one of the guides that it could potentially be a piece of skull armor from a young ankylosaur. I want to know what everyone here thinks.
