Hi all, I may buy this trex tooth as my final trex tooth at some point. What do you think? I am aware these tooth are notoriously overpriced though. I've asked the seller for a basal photo of the tooth. Also it seems like it's missing a small bit of serrations but personally don't want a perfect specimem. Typically the seller wants someone to buy it now so is telling me that another person is also looking to buy this and another 3 5/16" trex tooth (with not as good surface quality) so if I want it buy it now..coincidence right? Considering it's been advertised for 2 weeks now lol. Hell Creek Formation, Montana Measures approx. 3 1/8″ long Thanks!

Hi there, I have recently seen a trex claw online that is around 4 inches in length and the seller says it was found in Baker, Montana however I know that this claw is often misidentified as anzu wyliei. Can anyone tell by the below photos if this is a trex claw? The size makes me think it is and the seller is not sure whether it's hand or foot. I would like to have seen a photo of the side of the claw to measure width but this photo has not been put up by the person. It is a bit out of my budget for the kind of money that I would ever spend but I find pieces like this very interesting and I know I should trust the seller but I would like feedback from members of this forum. Thanks!

African T-Rex Tooth Red Flag
Troodon posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
This seller is using his words very deceptively just be careful. He's offering a large Carcharodontosaurid tooth but his listing title describes it as African T-Rex, Top 1% T-REX Tyrannosaurus and his description has similar comments. If your'e not paying attention you might think its Rex. This one is very convincing. For new collectors this species has nothing in common with T rex and it's just a marketing ploy. A very nice Carcharodontosaurid tooth but not Rex.thumb.jpg.c4b17dc9112b9792df0b30d0ffcd6774.jpg)

My first post and not real good because of size limit on pictures. I have a youtube channel that is free with google cloud. I posted video there of what appears to be a mummfied dinosaur that looks a close to The Fossil book 1948 edition. I happened to come across this at a garage sell. Not the best video. I plan on redoing it.

Hello I am new to this site and I was hoping that someone could help me out. I friend of mine a few years back borrowed some money and gave me what he said was a T Rex tooth from the Hell Creek formation as collateral I was recommended to this sight by Shawn at fossil era . I was hoping that someone could help me identify the tooth and give me an approximate value I am not sure that i am interested in selling the tooth because it is so cool and I know I will probably never get another one. any information would be greatly appreciated Thank you in advance Brad

So I went to the Black Hills Insitute and I made a lot of photos, so I thought I'd share. The Black Hills Institute museum in Hill City is pretty small, it's just one hall. But this one hall is absolutely packed with stuff. This is also the home of the T. rex Stan. Many of the skeletons are casts, but there are plenty of real fossils here as well. The skeleton of Stan. This is the real skeleton and the real skull is placed beside it in the corner. But I didn't even notice that at the time. Skull of Torosaurus. Notice the holes in the frill. Triceratops doesn't have these holes in it's frill. Tylosaurus proriger. Another real specimen. Two Allosaurus skeletons. An Ornithomimid as well as Stan, the Senckenberg Edmontosaurus mummy and Tarbosaurus skull in the background. Skeleton of Albertosaurus, skull of Albertosaurus on the left and skull of Gorgosaurus on the right. A second T. rex skeleton. And a lineup of T. rex skulls in the background. Thescelosaurus and Pachycephalosaurus. Juvenile Edmontosaurus skeleton below the second T. rex skeleton. Cast of the Triceratops Raymond. Crestless Pteranodon on the left as well as a Nyctosaurus? arm/wing at the bottom. Dromaeosaurus in the middle between the legs of the Triceratops and a primitive Sirenian with legs on the right. Bambiraptor and Archaeopteryx skeletons. Foot and skull of Deinonychus and Herrerasaurus, Dromaeosaurus and Eoraptor skulls at the bottom. T. rex arm (cast of Sue) and brian endocast left. Nanotyrannus skull on the right. Mongolian Dinosaurs. Saichania and Saurolophus skulls at the top. Velociraptor skull and oviraptorid partial skeletons below that. Prenocephale, Oviraptor, Archaeornithimimus and Alioramus at the bottom. Tethyshadros top left, and Psittacosaurus nest, and skeletons on the bottom left. Brontosaurus leg in the middle and baby Apatosaurus on the right. Velociraptor and Protoceratops fighting on the far right. Edaphosaurus skeleton. And this is just a small selection of the photos I took. There's just so much stuff here and I only spent a few hours here. The gift shop is also worth a vist btw. I bought a rather nice replica of a tooth from Stan and a Thescelosaurus phalange.

My most recent and most exciting acquisition, a giant partial vert from a tyrannosaurus rex from the hell creek formation of Montana. Nearly went into cardiac arrest that I was able obtain such a large specimen from t rex, so I thought I would share. It really fills up the dinosaur collection and feels like it weighs a ton, I think the dimensions are somewhere around 6.5 inchs or so long and 10.5 inchs tall if I remember, would've been alot taller if the process was still intact and I like how the giant pores are visible cause of the damage. Super massive piece, I was worried about it collapsing my shelve but it fits fine so far.

Hey everyone! Here's my latest piece of paleoart, T-rex! I used ink and watercolors. I didn't want to color it the traditional green or brown so I looked at vultures for reference. I find it difficult to believe the theory that T-rex was exclusively a scavenger but I thought the vulture colors would make it look nasty. Hope you like it and I'd love to know what you all think! -Mike

what do think about this ? An EXTRA LARGE, Good Quality Tyrannosaurus rex tooth. This crown measures 2-5/8" and is thick (1-1/16"). The enamel has excellent color and patina. Excellent anterior and posterior serrations. Some root etchinng on crown. Tip is blunt - very typical with adult Rex teeth. Several cracks were stabilized. Is this a fault/ disadvantage ??

I recently bought this tooth from a sort of reputable seller that largely only deals in Hell Creek materials. I've been told that she sometimes do however get her Identification of materials wrong. This tooth here is labelled by her as Nanotyrannus but I had @Andy look at this and he said that I should seek better advice from the experts as he doesn't think it is a Nanotyrannus seeing that the tooth is a little too thick for Nano and a little too thin for T-rex. Attached are a few photos and I've also attached a microscopic zoomed in on the serrations. Serration count is 3 per mm.

Another tooth I acquired from the Hell Creek formation. This one comes from a less well known seller and he identified this as Trex. I don't see the robustness of this tooth and I don't think it is Trex. What could it be then? I have no idea.

Hello! Some of you may have heard the news. The Netherlands now has it's own T. rex and it was unveiled today! This is the same T. rex that @chele and her husband found in Montana back in 2013. After that it was dug up by a team of Naturalis the natural history museum in Leiden in cooperation with the Black Hills Institute. This museum also bought the T. rex. Around 5 million euros was crowdfunded to make this possible. The skeleton was prepared in the Black Hills Institute by Pete Larson and his team. The T. rex is of the robust morph and thus probably a female. The animal has been named Trix after our former queen Beatrix. As of spetember 10th the skeleton will be viewable by the public for a time. As the museum is in the middle of a huge renovation the skeleton is temporarily housed in the only part that is open to the public now. I don't know the exact dates but the skeleton will go on tour and in 2018 the skeleton should get it's final resting place in the new dinosaur hall at the museum. The staff of the museum got a preview before the unveiling (I'm a volunteer at the fossil prep lab) so I was lucky enough that I could take some photos. So without further ado. Some pictures... I noticed that the pectoral girdle seems to be positioned really low compared to other reconstructions. Lastly a picture of one of the information panels. This shows how much of the skeleton is real. I've been told around 75% to 80% of the bone volume is present. Some more information on this T. rex. - The animal is now named Trix. After the former Dutch queen Beatrix. - Trix is in the top 3 of best preserved T. rexes. - The skeleton is of the robust morph. So it's probably female. - This is the only T. rex skeleton in the world that is mounted with the real skull. - The missing bones were 3d printed. Some mirrored versions of bones that were present. And some bones based on Sue, such as the feet. - Trix was prepped in the Black Hills Institute. - Trix is about the same size as Sue. - There are a lot of pathologies. This includes T. rex bitemarks on the jaw and broken ribs. - After this temporary exhibit and tour the skeleton will be permanently housed in the new dinosaur hall in Naturalis in Leiden. Because it's some part news, part fossil hunting trip and part museum visit I figured it best fitted being in general discussion.

Is Nanotyrannus A Separate Species Or Is It A Juvenile T Rex?
Raptor Lover posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Is Nanotyrannus proven to be a separate species than T Rex or is it really just a jeuvenile Rex? Some people believe that it's a separate species. Others believe the latter. I don't know which one is correct. Let me know your thoughts! -
