Hi all, I came across this Ceratopsian tooth from the HC Fm. online and was wondering what you make of the 'wear facet' on the root? Did this occur naturally in the jaw while the tooth got disposed of? I have not seen this before so I am curious Thanks in advance!

Fossils were a shared interest between my father and I.... after he passed last year I have longed for his enthusiasm and knowledge of paleontology and fossils... While living in Alaska I found several however most in my collection are purchased due to their beauty... I look forward to reading posts and viewing members collections...

Triceratops frill ankylosaurus scute, raptor claw fossils
Dinobot posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello let me start of by say you all are awesome! Amateurs like myself have got a lot more confidence because of the help you give us. It was great day when I discovered this site I had bought these a ways back and I was going thru my collection and it would be great to get an opinion if I these are what they were described as. The "raptor claw" was the first ever fossil I bought! (Fingers crossed haha) The COA said it was from the Taquiz, kasar-es-souk, region in Morocco. I believe the seller told be the red lines we blood grooves? It was probably 10 years ago so I dont recall much else about the ad. The other two were bought from the same seller, who did not have much reviews so I took a chance I guess. He described them as a "tricertops frill spike" and an "ankylosaurus armor scute" all i have regarding these ones is that is was found on private land in Wyoming in Lance creek formation... Any input would be greatly appreciated! I tried to follow the posting etiquette sorry If I missed something. Thank you!

What Is The Complete List Of Dinosaur Species Known From Hell Creek, Including Tooth Taxons And Synonymous Species?
Mioplosus_Lover24 posted a topic in Questions & Answers
I have yet to see a conclusive list of EVERY dinosaur known from the Hell Creek Formation, I am curious if anyone has one or knows all the dinosaurs, thank you! -
I found a bunch of these teeth on the Judith River Formation yesterday and not sure of the identification. Based on google searches they appear to be (from left to right) triceratops, ankylosaurus, and Hadrosaur. The one on the left is about 3/4" as a reference. Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

I found these toe bones yesterday in the Judith River Formation near the Canadian border. I have found several bones like these but not completely sure of the identification to give them. They appear hadrosaur or triceratops like based on a google search of other similar bones. Let me know if you can identify them.

Hey everyone, This is a small piece of bone (I think it’s a frill section) I found a while back in the Lance Formation. I was going over my fossils when I noticed this weird iron line going through the bone. I’m not sure what it is. It sorta looks like a blood vessel, but those can’t be fossilized, right? What do you think it is? Any response is appreciated. Thanks everyone!

Is this ceratopsian tooth real?
paleo.nath posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I purchased this tooth a while back and i’ve always been suspicious about its authenticity, however i’m not sure. it’s advertised from the Hell Creek formation, and said to be a triceratops tooth

hello, my name is Simon and I am a big Dino fan like everyone here. I hope to comply with all the rules and ask for a short info if something should not fit. I ask for help to identify some fossils in the photos. I am aware that not all bones can be determined, but I would be very happy if at least a few could be identified. the fossils were found in the Hell Creek Formation of Harding County, SD. I hope to have taken good photos - if you have any questions please ask. many thanks in advance for your help :) best regards Simon

Hello all! Any insight on this unidentified fossil, from Hell Creek Formation, Montana, would be deeply appreciated. It was labelled 'cheek bone' by the original seller, but this looks nothing like the cheek bones that I own. Please see images. [P.S., this is the 3rd of 5 specimens that I'm posting for ID today; I deeply appreciate any insight that you can provide]. With gratitude, Ryan

Hi all, I’m thinking about bidding on this, and was wondering if it was a triceratops horn?
-
Hello! I see this for sale. The seller told me It’s a triceratops horn. No information about location. Is it real? Fake? No triceratops horn? Thank you so much!

Fossil dig in Wyoming, finally finished prep work. Glass of wine for my hard work. Couldn’t find the photo from the field, dug it out of hard sandstone and all the vein grooves were full of the sandstone. Love the grooves, some are very deep.

Hey everyone! I recently received a partial Triceratops sp. skull excavated from Meade County, SD. Unfortunately the skull was weathered before and after fossilization, what survived was the left brow horn, edge of the left squamosal, what I assume to be fragments of squamosal, fragments of parietal, a couple bags of float and what I think is possibly some of the jugal. The horn was already prepped but the frill fragments came mostly unprepared. I've done small prep on local Ordovician material as well as various bone fragments from the Hell Creek with hand tools to include practicing on pieces of the float, but never on this scale. My plans are to eventually make an awesome display piece with what I have. I was wondering if anyone had advice on how I should appropriately tackle the hard claystone that cakes a good portion of the material. Some of it is so thin that it seems pretty difficult to get it off without damaging the underlying bone. Also have used water to help soften and get the matrix off. I've tried to read all what I can on here as far as manual prep and the way to go about it, but knew people here would have specific experience with Hell Creek/Triceratops material. Also seeking any further advice on my progress and how I should go about it. I'll try to post more pictures as I go and will gladly post more if requested! Also was wondering what papers/material is out there that could maybe help identify what sizeable chunks of the frill could are what? Thanks! Started working on this piece a few weeks ago

Any thoughts on this? Would be a nice, unusual piece for my collection if it's as described. Triceratops beak. Hell Creek. Garfield County. Montana. Weight: 0.255 kg Length: 13cm Width: 16cm Depth 3cm Now, it does resemble one that I saw for sale elsewhere googling (which has sold out) but, given it's quite a pricey piece. I figure it best to double check on here to see if it's as described. If it is, it's one I'd definitely be ordering. Thanks very much.

juvenile triceratops pelvic bone???
Compy posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello again, while looking for more preserved dinosaurian remains I found this: It is from a bequest/inheritance so little is known by the family selling it except that it was bought at an auction in the US and properly declared to customs. It was told to be a pelvic bone of a juvenile triceratops. It measures roughly length: 25cm, width: 18cm, width: 8 cm and the weight is roundabout 2.5 kg. If it is a real pelvic bone to me it looks very worn or in a bad shape. What puzzles me is the black part of rock you can see in the bottom right corner of some pictures... On the other hand it is the first complete/intact pelvic bone I was able to find... What is your opinion on this piece? Is it real or a concretion? Is it a pelvic bone and to which species can (if even possible given the poor information) it be narrowed down? Is it worth to be collected? Thanks in advance!

I have seen this item for sale and if genuine it would be a cool thing to add to the collection. But can it be identified as a triceratops collar piece with any certainty? The description says [it is a Triceratops collar fragment from the Hell Creek Formation in Montana, USA].

Good evening, I recently purchased a couple of teeth and now I am printing the labels for my collection. This tooth is supposed to be a triceratops from the Hell Creek Formation in the US (unfortunately no state or county provided). Now I am wondering if it is possible to attribute this tooth either to triceratops horridus or to triceratops prorsus (as far as I know theee were tge only species found in this formation)?

Wanted to share my latest acquisition. Decades ago a friend of mine found this triceratops dorsal vertebra in Montana. There was evidence of post-mortem predation by a nanotyrannus. A tooth broke off and embedded in the centrum. Enjoy!

Good afternoon! I'm new to the forum and was hoping you all could help me with framing advice. I wanted to get a very special gift for my little brother for his birthday (his twin passed away a few years ago so I always try to make it a super special day), so I purchased a trike "spitter" tooth online. It's 1 - 1/8" in size and I was thinking about purchasing a floating frame to display it but I'm stumped as to which size I should purchase. I'm including a photo of the type of frame I was interested in using and the tooth I purchased. Is this the best way to display the tooth and if so, which size frame should I get? If there's a better way to display, please share any suggestions! Can you tell I'm new to this? Thank you all in advance, Amy

Hello, I recently finishing preparing this fossil and you may have seen it in the Prep section, however given I would also appreciate an ID, the smart suggestion was made to move it here. I bought this off Ryan at Hell Creek Dinosaurs who discovered it on one of his trips last summer to Hell Creek. Apologies for not having it next to a scale, but it's 46cm long. Ryan suggested it could be a Triceratops or a Hardosaur (Edmontosaurus one assumes) and although I was erring on the latter, will admit having seen some trike fibulas recently, now I'm not 100% sure, hence this post. Showing pics from the find (Ryan very kindly agreed I could use. Thanks again!) and now after prep. If these aren't clear enough or you need more to be able to help, just let me know. Any thoughts much appreciated. Thanks Dave ps: If you're questioning the prep, in my defence, it was my first ever...

I came across this [verbatim seller description removed] Hell Creek Formation, Montana.

Wow its already the 17 of January where has the year gone? Well always time for some cool photos of some great fossils to keep us going Its not unheard of to find dinosaur bite marks on a fossil. This Triceratops pelvis on display at Museum of the Rockies has Tyrannosaurus bite marks on it (red arrows) One way to identify a theropod bone is to see if they are hollow, another way is to look at their vertebra most are pneumatized, have a honeycomb structure. Here is an example of a T rex vertebra You hear alot about the Nanotyrannus associated with the Dueling Dinosaurs but here is a photo of the foot of other partner in this dynamic due a Triceratops. Complete ceratopsian feet are rare and this is the ventral view of one. in the less prepped version Mike Tribold posted this photo of Axestemys infernalis, a new soft shelled turtle from the Hell Creek Formation. I am sure Mike will have it on display at his booth at the Tucson 22nd Street Show More info on this turtle can be found here https://palaeo-electronica.org/content/2019/2827-a-new-species-of-trionychid The lower jaw of the pterosaur Liaodactylus, with its numerous and extremely slender teeth. At 160 million years old, this is the earliest evidence of adaptations for filter-feeding in pterosaurs. Info by Jordan Bestwick Check out these loooong flight feathers on the wings of Confuciusornis sanctus. Courtesy of Talia Lowi-Marri Palaeontological Institute in Moscow gives us the rather mean-looking Archosaurus rossicus, from the very end of the Permian (~255 Mya) in Russia. Skull is a bit under half a meter long. Not something you want to meet hiking in Siberia. The Supraorbital horn of Baby and Juvenile Triceratops (or Torosaurus), courtesy of the BHI Carnotaurus sastrei, original holotype skull. photo by Damian Perez Tom Holtz shared a different view of the Tyrant King skull From the Smithsonian's NMNH Deep Time exhibit, a beautiful Gorgosaurus libratus skull Here is a photo that compares different Tyrannosaurid finger bones digit I-1. From left to right : Gorgosaurus TVM 2001.89.1, Nanotyrannus BHI-6437, adult T.rex MOR-980, and sub adult T.rex TCM 2001.90.1. Your can see on similarities with the two on the right both of Trex of different ages. Interesting thought the paleontologists said the younger one should be longer photo P. Larsen

Hadrosaur carcasses must have been great hiding places for fishes during the Cretaceous. A beautifully preserved primitive sturgeon, in the belly cavity of a Brachylophosaurus skeleton. Thanks Jack Horner Here’s the holotype skull of Gorgosaurus libratus. This specimen was collected by Charles Sternberg from Dino Prov Park, Alberta & described by Lawrence Lambe, Canada’s first vertebrate palaeontolgist. Thanks Dave Evans Thigh bone and shin bone of a subadult Triceratops. The thigh is much longer than the shin making for a relatively short stride, suggesting Triceratops was very slow. T. rex was definitely faster than a trike & probably didn’t need to run to catch one. Compliments of Dave Evans. Wonderful skull of the very early dinosaur Eoraptor from the PVSJ collection in San Juan. It’s from the early Late Triassic Ischigualasto Formation. NHM Dinolab The theropod Coelophysis baur the State Fossil of New Mexico. This mass death assemblage depicts multiple individuals who died at the same time. Thanks Guy Leahy. Here’s a nice big T. rex tooth from Saskatchewan. Not the prettiest but from a cool location. D. Evans Acrocanthosaurus mount completed by the Black Hills Institute. Heading to the Netherlands Something you dont see often jaws of Iguanacolossus fortis. Its a genus of iguanodontian ornithopod dinosaur that lived in North America during the Early Cretaceous period from Utah . Jim Kirkland Dinossur material from Austria wow.... you are looking at the nodosaur Struthiosaurus austriacus, from the Campanian of eastern Austria. Represented by multiple individuals of different growth stages, here is the braincase and two spikes. Tom Raven
