A new "T-Rex" tooth just showed up on our favorite site. It is not a Tyrannosaurus rex tooth however but a more common and far cheaper Carch tooth. We know this because of its more blade-like morphology, its slender profile, its shape, its smaller denticles and the sand on the base I already notice multiple bids on it and I have no doubt the price would escalate as many hopeful collectors would try their hands on getting a cheap T-Rex tooth for themselves. For anyone looking to buy a true T. rex tooth, there are several factors to take note of: 1) Thi

I obtained a nice Tyrannosaurus Rex tooth from the Lance Creek Formation of Wyoming. It was a good opportunity to try my hand at restoration. The tooth was around 80% complete, with some of the root missing and a dent near the tip. I only wanted to restore the latter part. Pretty good job, I think.

From the album: Dinosaurs
Species: Tyrannosaurus rex Age: Cretaceous (Maastrichtian), c. 66 million years ago Location: Hell Creek Formation, Montana, United States Quite small tooth fragment of a juvenile specimen (classically referred to Nanotyrannus, now no longer recognized as a valid genus), but serrations are preserved. Identifiable down to the genus and species level since Hell Creek did not have any tyrannosaurids other than Tyrannosaurus rex. -
Hello! I'm a new member (but not one that's likely to become a stranger). I'm eager to get any information/predictions you can offer on this tooth from the Powder River formation in Montana. Some of the areas I've been digging into thus far are: · Ballpark age/maturity/size of animal · Area/position on the jaw · Likely causes of damage (e.g., wear from tooth-to-tooth contact, wear from general contact with other animals, trauma prior to death, damage post-death) · Any repair/restoration signs observed. One of the main

Hi there! I recently purchased this online, could you please help identify this? the seller was unsure if it was a juvenile trex or a nano. It was found in Hell creek dawson County east of Glendive Montana Thank you :)

I was out yesterday doing a final hunt before the snow sets in here in Montana on the Judith River formation and found this claw along with this vertebra, no other bones around so possibly from the same animal. I have found theropod claws that are much smaller and this one is huge when compared. I searched for the tip but sadly couldn't find it. I assume because of the size it would be a tyrannosauroid but not certain. Can it be determined to be a toe claw or hand claw? Is the vertebra identifiable? @patrickhudson

is this juvenile t rex skeleton real?
Josesaurus rex posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi, I have now corrected my previous post to avoid breaking the rules. I saw this recently and it actually seems too good to be true. I suspect that it may be false, as the stone that contains it does not look very natural in color, although the skeleton looks quite good. if you could comment on that it would be great. -
Sales just concluded a min ago. I definitely wasn't expecting it to reach this insanely high amount. No word yet AFAIK on whether he's going to a private collection or museum Is this the highest a dinosaur has ever been sold for? I wonder what precedence it'd set for fossils and paleontology moving forward On the pro side, it'd encourage more folks to go out there looking for fossils and possibly finding rare and important finds. On the con, more fossils might be priced out of the reach of museums

First Tyrannosaurus Rex Tooth, Scollard Formation, Alberta
dingo2 posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
I took a trip out to the scollard formation in Alberta the other day for the first time. I've been hunting in Alberta for years now, but only recently decided to try and branch out from our old hunting grounds. I was unaware that there were T-Rex fossils in our province, but I read through a few old posts on this forum about some massive teeth being pulled out of Alberta so I decided it was worth a shot. I told my dad about it and we decided to drive out on his birthday. I ended up finding a few broken T-Rex teeth, one would have been well over 3 inches. My dad easily had the find- 10 replies

I hope I'm not breaking any TFF rules by discussing fossil sales outside the sales forum. Does anyone know what is happening with Stan the T. rex? It looks like he is being put up for auction. Why did they suddenly decide to sell him? https://www.christies.com/features/The-life-of-Stan-a-T-rex-excavated-in-1992-10872-7.aspx?sc_lang=en&PID=en_hp_carousel_1

T-rex premax tooth real?
Tacosaurus posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello i am considering purchasing this T-rex tooth. The seller claims that their are no repairs with nice enamel and good serrations. with the only damage on the tooth mentioned being on the inside edge. My questions are simple is this really a tyrannosaurus rex tooth and is there any sign or repaired damage or anything that would indicate the tooth is fake etc. Information about the tooth: Age: 65 Million Years / Carter County, Montana Hell Creek Formation / Size: 2 inches long Below are the images they have provided. -
tyrannosaurus, hadrosaur and other Dino Teeth Repair and Restoration?
CEP posted a topic in Fossil ID
A couple of the bigger Tyrannosaurus teeth I found this summer in Montana Judith River formation. I found this 3" tyrannosaurus tooth in about 400 pieces and was able to piece about 80% of it together over about 3 weeks and 30 hours, the other one is almost as big but was only in about 30 pieces and is still a nice brown color. I am no professional and did not want to pay thousands to have someone do it for me. I would like to get it filled in and solid, is there some putty or epoxy used to fill it in and hold it all together? Also had some other smaller Hadrosaur teeth I believe and maybe a c- 4 replies

Hello, I was doing a study on the T. rex and Nanotyrannus teeth specimens I had, and I wanted to compare them against a list of known T. rex teeth with measurement. The paper: Dental Morphology and Variation in Theropod Dinosaurs: Implications for the Taxonomic Identification of Isolated Teeth (JOSHUA B. SMITH, DAVID R. VANN, AND PETER DODSON) contains a list of 115 T. rex teeth. To make it easier to compare and read the data, I combined the measurements into a single chart, added colors and lines for ease of reading, and added the size and names of the T. rex used in the study Fee- 3 replies

We all know that spinosaurus is most possible to be the largest theropod. Spinosaurus was not very tall (in the hip) but it probably was heavier and longest that tyrannosaurus, giga and carcha. But, what is the second biggest theropod ever? (only carnivorous, not herbivorous like deinocheirus). I think, that tyrannosaurus rex is the second biggest theropod ever. Giganotosaurus and carcharodontosaurus was longest that t. rex, but not tallest and heavier. Giraffe is taller that elephant, but elephant is the biggest terrestrial mammal. Argentinosaurus, supersaurus, patagotitan, diplodocus, was lo

I found what looks like a couple t-rex teeth, there are 4 good size pieces and about 20 smaller pieces. Looks like a complete 2.5" tooth once I piece it together, maybe longer and another partial tooth. Is it T-rex? also what is the best way to glue the pieces together? Is it worth paying someone that knows what they are doing? Also would it be worth digging into that area and see if there are more?

Found in over a dozen pieces. Had repaired after I glued it back together.

Tip was missing and was repaired. White marks are from plant roots pulling minerals off the surface.

Ok, I just came across articles about soft tissue remains, apparently including some form of degraded blood, in a mosasaur. That of course, brings up the T-Rex soft tissue found, to me. I seem to understand what I keep reading, but I can’t help it, again I find myself thinking...Really? C’mon, REALLY??? Am I just misinterpreting the whole thing, or is there actually real, true, gen-u-ine unfossilized/in mineralized, preserved soft tissues and blood remains in these 70ish million year old “fully” umineralized animals? ...............HOW?????????????? How, when the rest of the an

Tyrannosaurus rex Metatarsal
heZZ posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I just came across this. According to seller it belongs to subadult T-Rex, found completely intact. I would like to know if it's real or fake. Thanks. -
Picked this up off the auction sight. Hell creek tooth out of Powder river county Montana. Not expecting a perfect ID. It's small and I know that makes em hard to ID. This guy is just shy of an inch and heavy for his size. I have meg teeth of comparable size that weigh nothing compared to this specimen. It does have some remaining serrations but not much. Anyway, regardless of nano or rex status I thought it was an interesting tooth.

Not sure if this is the correct place for this, but looking to see if I could get some verification (Is it real? Good quality?) etc as I’m fairly new to collecting.
