From the album: Hell Creek / Lance Formations
As a theropod tooth aficionado, I thought it useful to compare two families present in the Hell Creek Formation. They become increasingly difficult to distinguish as they get smaller, but this graphic presents some features which may be used to differentiate them on two similarly-sized exceptional specimens. Keep in mind there is some variability due to position, ontogeny, etc., so it's beneficial to study more than one tooth for each family.-

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.

Hi, This one is a real kicker for me and I'm eager to hear what you think. Before studying it, I thought it might be a small T Rex, but the serrations are too fine. I don't believe it can be Nano for a few reasons, base shape being a big one (zero pinch). But it'd be unusual for a DR I think too, mostly for the mesial carina, but not sure. I wonder if much of the oddity is due to it possibly being an anterior tooth...? It's: From the hell creek formation CH: 16.6mm CBL: 8.8mm (1.88 ratio) Mesial serration de

Hi everyone, I am currently eyeing this Theropod tooth from the Kem Kem beds in Morocco which is listed as a Deltadromeus tooth. Now I know that no teeth can be attributed to Deltadromeus as no cranial material has been found yet and I know that most teeth sold as Deltadromeus are in fact Abelisaurid teeth but this tooth seems way to curved to be Abelisaurid which could my eye instantly. So I was think if this might be a Dromaeosaurid tooth which while rare (and not yet officially described from Kem Kem) are somethings found and sold as Deltadromeus. Or might this be a small ant

Hi there this little tooth is being advertised as a Nuthetes Destructor from the Dromeasauridae family Location: France - Champblanc / Cherves Size: 1.5cm I have my doubts about the ID as ND teeth are known for a depression in their crown (see below) although this tooth does have serrations. The person's reasoning for ID'ing the tooth is that the seller is a paleontologist ! 100% guaranteed. I don't really think that is a valid reason (a few months ago I may have said this was as I would take anybody's word for anything but now that I have been collecti

Chenanisaurus Barbaricus Tooth? Or Carch?
Kurufossils posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Came across this tooth labeled as an abelisaurus belonging to chinanisaurus barbaricus from the Maastrichtian supposedly found in the phosphate mines of the Ouled Abdoun basin. Looks pretty thick to be abelisaurus and comparable to an extent to some carcharodontosaurus teeth. Is there a way tell the difference or will there need to be more specifics involved. -

Hello. I found this 7.5 cm Albertosaurus tooth in the Bleriot Ferry area of the Horseshoe Canyon Formation last month. Based on the wear mark on the end, whereabouts would the tooth be placed within the mouth? (top or bottom?). Is it possible to tell?

Hi all, I have been staring at this tooth for quite a while now with question marks in my head. It was found in the Bissekty Formation, Kyzylkum desert, Uzbekistan. It's 27mm long (1.01 inch) and properly labeled as Theropod indet. However, the seller raises the possibility of it being a Dromaeosaurid. Serrations do look different in length and width, a count on screen gives me distal 13/5mm and mesial 16/5mm. What throws me off is the rather 'stout' crown and round cross section, more Tyrannosaurid in my view. However, I have no reference images and the only publication I found (Sues and

Any ideas what this might be or is it too small to id? Also don't have denticle count but I don't think that would even help as it is such a small tooth. If this is the case then I guess it's another tooth that is a Theropod indet….Anyone familiar with teeth from France? 9mm in size Chevres-Richemont Quarry Chevres-de-Cognac, Charente, South West France

I found a dealer who is selling a Richardoestesia Isosceles tooth from the Hell Creek Formation of South Dakota, but I just wanted to make sure whether is is real or not. Is it? The dealer also claims that this has not been restored and is a complete tooth.

Carcharodontosaurus saharicus tooth
thelivingdead531 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hey everyone! I’m looking at this tooth online and wanted to get some opinions as to the quality of it. Seller lists it as Carcharodontosaurus saharicus from Morocco. The tip is worn, and I’m wondering if that is from a break or possible feeding wear? The other thing I’m wondering is the indention on the side of the tooth. Seller claims it’s occlusal wear from a tooth on the opposing jaw. I know I’ve seen photos of similar incidents (that’s probably not the right word for it but it’s all that’s coming to mind) and wanted opinions on that aspect as well. Are these features less desirable? I thi -

Is This Torvosaurus Tooth Heavily Repaired/Fake?
Kurufossils posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Can across this one recently on our favorite auction site, a torvosaurus tooth from colorado. Though with no intention of buying especially at the high price tag it is at I have my suspicions, the seller claims it its 100% no repairs or restoration. Looking at the pictures I highly doubt it as it looks extremely repaired to me and some of it especially in the picture zooming into the tip reminds me of the little air holes found in fake cast trilobite. Idk how much is repaired or even if the whole specimen is fake, I'd be interested to hear what you guys think. Definitely a gigantic red flag to
