From the album: Lance fm. Microsite Finds
Another shot of the Pectinodon tooth featured earlier in this album, this specimen was found by my dad and is one of two Troodontid teeth in my collection. -
New paper by Thomas Cullen, Phil Currie and colleagues on the biostratigraphic and morphometric data in the Dinosaur Park Formation. Note: As a result, along with overlapping morphology and stratigraphic position Latenivenatrix may be synonymous with Stenonychosaurus. Cullen_et_al-2021-CJES_efirst.pdf- 3 replies

Found lots of teeth today, here’s some I need a little help with as I’ve never found these before. I think one is a troodontid, one is maybe dromaeosaur, and the other I have no idea. (Apologies for the quality, my phone isn’t good macro photography) Dinosaur Park Fm

Help IDing tooth (sorry for the images). I was told Troodon, but I'm super confident it's not.
NewToothCollector posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello folks. I'm a fairly new collector, but have done a lot of homework over the few months while I've been getting started with this hobby. The one specimen that I really want in my collection is a Troodon tooth. I just love the way they look. I'm pretty comfortable with where I usually get my teeth, and have a lot of confidence, but I haven't come across a Troodon. I found a seller that had this labeled as Troodon, but had some super blurry photos. I was very skeptical, because the serrations did not look right to me, even from the seller photos. The seller told me that if I get conf -
The Advanced Dinosaur Egg Guide Please share this with those who have egg questions. When possible, technical terms were avoided or defined. Every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, but it is always important to do your own research. This guide is merely a snapshot of information taken from many scientific publications. I am not an expert on eggs, rather I just love sharing what little I have learned over the years, what science has learned over the years. For an overview on how to spot a fossilized dinosaur egg and the sizes of eggs, see the basic guide:

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! -
Hello, now, apologies for the photos. They're the best the seller can get, I'm afraid. But hopefully they are ok to get some sort of ID/confirmation. He has a selection of Hell Creek teeth. They are all very small--ranging from below 1cm to just above 1cm in length. 1 - Troodontid -- not the clearest image, but they seem to have distinctive denticles which are common in troodontid teeth? I don't think Troodon is from Hell Creek, but I see online it says Troodontid teeth have been found there. Seller has a more precise location of Harding County, South Dakota for these.

Think you found an egg? Read this first! Dinosaur Egg Guide- Basic
CBchiefski posted a topic in Fossil ID
The Basic Dinosaur Egg Guide Many people often mistake a concretion for an egg, to help clarify what is a concretion, and what is a real egg, here is a guide. A quick overview with examples: How to spot a concretion: How are they different from eggs? A concretion is a rather common rock made of tightly compressed minerals. Typically, concretions are a smooth sphere or oval with little to no surface texture or just a few bumps. Often nearly a perfect sphere, sometimes more of an oval. In a concretion, there- 17 replies

Good afternoon, I found this tooth on a fossil website for a great price and had to get it! Now the part I’m struggling with is wondering whether or not it’s a troodon specimen or pectinodon specimen. The pictures are kind of dark so I can’t really see any mesial serrations. Basic info: The tooth comes from the Hell Creek FM and is 0.12” long. What do you guys think? I’m leaning towards pectinodon.

Sorry, but Troodon formosus is a valid taxon! check it; OK, I feel like I have to clear this up. This isn't meant to be trolling only posting some of the answers Jack Horner gave me on twitter answering my question. I am not trying to offend anyone. This is simply teasing and supposed to be fun in games.

I found this tooth in my Aguja matrix and the serrations are way larger than any of the other teeth I've found! I can take more pictures but this tooth is so tiny and I'm unsure of it's exact measurements.

Hello everyone, On this edition of Rex or nano, we have this nice little mailbox score I got earlier this year. The seller and I are reasonably certain that it is a young adult rex. But I wanted to bring it to you folks to get your assessment. It matches the locality of Rex ( hell creek, from a microsite in Carter county) and based on my research from the forum and elsewhere it checks out as tyrannosaurid. (Ie: robustness and seemingly no pinch) Bonus question: I'm also curious on the placement of the tooth in the animals jaw. I have reason to believe it m

An interesting article “proving” most dinosaurs were warm blooded and that Troodon may have been able to switch back and forth to cold bloodedness. https://www.discovermagazine.com/planet-earth/fossil-eggshells-suggest-all-dinosaurs-may-have-been-warm-blooded https://news.yale.edu/2020/02/14/were-dinosaurs-warm-blooded-their-eggshells-say-yes

11 Troodon Clutch

Seen on an auction site. I highly doubt its a Troodon clutch but I thought I'd throw it out to the forums and see if anyone can ID it. Thanks -
TEST DATA NEEDED - Quantitative Method for Identifying Campanian Age Tyrannosaurids of North America
dinosaur man posted a topic in Questions & Answers
This experiment is by @Troodon, @Omnomosaurus and me @dinosaur man. Thank you for participating!! -
In 2017 a study came out claiming that Troodon is a dubious genus (not invalid like some people claim!), he goes on to state that any new fossil discoveries assigned to Troodon would need to be from the Judith river formation. He later implys that the only fossil of Judith river formation troodon is the holotype specimen (which is a tooth). The last part is actually false! I want to create a discussion around this as they have been many teeth, eggs and even vertebrae from the Judith river formation that seem to suggest that the 2017 is flawed.

Hello! Over the weekend I made some new labels for my fossil collection and I was wondering what everyone thought of them. I have QR codes which link to the corresponding "prehistoric-wildlife.com" species page for more info, and I added in some basic I.D. info to the cards to not crowd them. I also attached numbers to the labels and the fossils, so that I don't need to keep the labels directly next to the fossils. Would love to know what you think, and if anyone wants more information/the template I created. Thanks! P.S. Two of my I.D.s I'm still not 100% on (deltadromeus and Pec

Troodon formosus foot claw
Pterygotus posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
This is being sold as a troodon foot claw from the Judith river, Montana. It measures 36mm. How does it look and does it look like the sickle claw found on the inner toe of each foot? Thanks in advance. -
Hi guys just recently picked this up from the st Marie show. Not alot of information except it came from Madagascar. I bought this in conjunction with a rappetosaurus tooth also from Madagascar that has the same patina and look. the question is what is it? Crocodile? or is it something a bit more interesting and dinosaurian? always interested in your advice and help. best wishes byron

I thought I would share this amazing articulated Troodon skeleton recently found by a respected fossil team. It's currently on the market so hopefully it ends up in a nice museum so everyone can enjoy it.
