  1. Hi folks First post - absolute newbie to the subject, so please go easy on me (especially as what I propose doing may well be seen as vandalism by some!). I have a dinosaur obsessed partner (Velociraptors in particular) and I'd like to get her a unique gift. So I was thinking of purchasing as nice a tooth or claw as I can get my hands on and somehow attach it to a necklace. I guess the easiest way to do this would be to drill a small hole through it, but how viable is this in reality? I appreciate this is probably a 'depends on the example in question' question, but how likely am I to reduce a lovely piece of history into a crumbled mess? Are these typically quite solid materials? Would their be a preferred material between a tooth or claw? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Scott
  2. Fast. Intelligent. Deadly. The "Raptor" is perhaps one of the most famous dinosaur today thanks to Jurassic Park. To many people's surprise however, raptors are heavily feathered and nimbler than movies would have you believe. The Jurassic Park Velociraptor was merely the size of coyote in real life! In fact, their proper family name is 'Dromaeosaurid'. The largest species was Utahraptor, and it grew to the size of a grizzly bear! Dromaeosaurid fossils have been found all over the world. They first appeared during the Cretaceous, though isolated teeth have been found in the mid-Jurassic. Allow me to present my humble collection of Dromaeosaurid teeth. First up, from Cloverly Formation, one of my pride and joy from @hxmendoza A dromaeosaurid from Aguja Formation. I am seeing more Aguja fossils showing up, but dromaeosaurid teeth are still rare. Now, for the dromaeosaurids from the famous Hell Creek Formation. Some of them probably lived alongside T. rex. A big shout-out for @Troodon for getting me started on dromaeosaurids with this very first Acheroraptor!
  3. David Evans who described Acheroraptor shared this photo and information on a few notable Dromaeosaurid's. Thought it would be of interest to the Dino guys and others. I also show a hand next to an adult Velociraptor skull which gives a real life size comparison, since a lot of depictions and replicas sold are well oversized. Acherorapter is from the Maastrichtian of Hell Creek/Lance Formation Saurornitholestes shown from Campanian of Canada/Montana Velociraptor from Campanian of Asia David: How big was the Hell Creek dromaeosaurid Acheroraptor temertyorum (top)? It’s about 25% bigger than Saurornitholestes (middle) and 66% bigger than Velociraptor (bottom). For reference it’s about 15% smaller than Deinonychus
  4. Hello, This is my first time posting so I hope it follows all the rules! My sister loves archaeology and paleontology so I wanted to get her a fossil for her birthday. Her absolute favorite dinosaur is the velociraptor so I’ve been looking at raptor teeth and came across this one that claims to be from a velociraptor (the only one I’ve found that’s that specific genus). It says it’s from the Judith River Formation in Montana. Does it look like an authentic raptor tooth and is it possible to know what type of raptor it is? Thanks for your help! 5BE3CE06-4AA8-45B8-A703-A5266E5AD5E1.webp 5DFD9BC7-B4F7-4F01-8E0D-CAFE74F64E0E.webp 3CE0E0D8-4AAF-4E84-AB10-4B10163FC419.webp
  5. I finally completed the reorder of my collection of fossils and minerals. It is a wooden hexagonal display cabinet of several wood/glass shelf; in the pictures attached I only show some of them. I 3D printed more than 20 custom drawer compartments for the smallest specimens. I decided to go for a modular design, so I can adapt every compartment to the specimen. As printing material, I used a "wood PLA" filament 3D printed with 1 mm nozzle on the Alfawise U20 3D printer. LINK I finally added a strip LED inside the cabinet door and powered it via a USB power-bank - so it is fully wireless. In this picture you can see some of my recent purchases: Two Sinosauridae indet. teeth from Kem Kem One Acheroraptor tooth from Hell Creek formation, Powder River Co., Montana Some Mosasaurus teeth from Kem Kem One Pterosaurs tooth from Kem Kem A piece of Rhinocerontidae indet. jaw from South Dakota Some ammonites, shark teeth, a Flexicalymene ouzregui, a couple of echinoids (I found the white one in a brick!); the Velociraptor skull is 3D printed as well. This is the other side. The big sand echinoid was also found by me in a brick! On the right there's a nice fossil coral: I never seen something similar, please let me know if you know it's name. Three fossil fishes and a nice ammonites cluster with some quartz in the background. At the end, some minerals... Now I only have to finish the cataloging of all specimen. I already finished with fossils, now I have to start with minerals - it will be very looong! What do you think? Do you like it? Ciao!
  6. Another one from a particular online bidding site - this is listed as a Velociraptor mongoliensis tooth, sourced from the Gobi Desert, Mongolia. The seller describes the tooth as 15mm long, but unfortunately there aren't any other measurements. The colour is quite similar to Kem Kem teeth, but I have seen reddish fossil material from the Djadokhta formation. There are some prominent denticles at the distal base but the rest look worn off. Any thoughts?

    ZOIC Scribe Review

    A few weeks ago, I ordered a Velociraptor and a Microraptor from ZOIC Palaeotech in the UK. I requested that the scribes be modified to use an exhaust diffuser in order to reduce air flow onto delicate specimens. The company is great to work with and readily answered all my questions. The time from order placement to receipt of delivery was only a week to the day! They arrived well packed in the shipping box and in a nice wooden box. When I placed the order I forgot to select US industrial for the air connector and assumed I would have to swap it out… Nope, they anticipated my need and built the tools with the correct adapter. The Velociraptor comes with an air regulator and the Microraptor uses the same hose, so swapping the tool to reduce air pressure is simple. They are pressure plate scribes (like the Aro) so, they need a bit more pressure to run than other scribes but will operate with as little as 40 psi. The maximum pressure they should run on is 60 psi. This gives a lot of variation in force for delicate specimens. The velociraptor has about as much power as one of the larger Micro Jacks and can be turned down to around the power of an MJ3. The Microraptor is significantly lighter. Running at 40 psi, I’m able to ease right up against the specimen to remove small bits of matrix. They aren’t entry model scribes and come with a price tag but they are significantly less expensive that some other comparable scribes. All in, they are great tools and well worth the investment.
  8. Hi all, Long-time lurker and first time poster - I hope I can run this fossil by everyone. The item is advertised as Velociraptor claw and digit bones from the Gobi Desert, Mongolia, without a formation named. I'm not sure if the components were found together, but given the different colouration/texture I assume not. Attached is the only photo of it. It seems big for Velociraptor at 6", and the blood groove looks unusually well defined. Any thoughts?
  9. Two teeth from Djadochta. First one screams Kem Kem to me. 1st tooth is 1.5cm. I can't figure out how to get in touch with the seller on the website it is sold from to get more specifics. I'm sure there is a way, but I am missing it. Second tooth is 2.cm - Unfortunately, the only picture I have of it at the moment, although supplier is trying to get more from the person selling it. It will likely sell before he does get one, so I figured I'd post what I have now. This one, the preservation is unusual--I thought Djadochta teeth were a very light shade? Has anyone encountered some this color before? Thanks

    Dinosaur Intelligence and size

    Hi!! There's a couple of questions I have that hasn´t been anwsered for too long, and every site that I visit says either contradictory information or doesn´t say anything about this topic at all. Anyway, here it goes. I've been a jurassic park fan for as long as I can remember, and I´ve always wondered if the velociraptor intelligence in the movie was, at least, close to reality. Even if another dromaeosaur like deinonychus had it.Also, In the movie, velociraptor sizes are awfully wrong compered to their real life counterparts. However,I've heard many times that the size of the velociraptor in the movie is the same that the size if Deinonychus. My question is: Is this real? Thanks to anyone who answers this post!
  11. Hey there, before I found this forum, I had hopes and dreams of collectiong an affordable Droaeosauridae collection. Teeth are Teeth so they can't be very complicated and I found so many deales who were selling "Raptor" Teeth. After a few discussions with you guys I know now, that you basically need a doctorate to spot the genuine teeth and that 95% of the dealers are selling snarge. Since then, @Troodon is known to me as "Destroyer of Dreams" . So, before I fling myself in the Art of "don't buy fake teeth", I wanted to start with a few replicas. This opened the door to a lot of new horrors ... and questions. So if it's ok with you, I'd like to ask a few of those based on two replicas I already bought by highlighting questionable terminology. I roughly understand how a fossil replica is made (mold and cast method), but not really the context of the description. It seems to contradict itself. So, first of all, I talked with the "DreamDestroyer" about this replica and he stated that the skull doesn't look right. I bought it nevertheless, because I liked it as Art. What exactly is this? A life sized "actual" skull with reconstructed elements? On the claw replica: So a X-Generation cast? The reconstructed part confuses me. Thanks again and best regards Sebastian
  12. Hi. I'm new here, but I thought this may be of interest. For my senior project, I 3D printed a life size Velociraptor mongoliensis. It isn't quite perfect, but I think I beat Jurassic World.
  13. Hey guys, I am researching about velociraptor and protoceratops relationships in the bayan mandahu formation. basically I have to talk about these two in the bayan mandahu but I was thinking to approach the question in a different way. Is there anything else around the time that could these tooth marks belong to on the protoceratops? or perhaps is there any other species kicking around with similar bone structure to the protoceratops?
  14. New skeleton helps define differences between North American and Asian Dromeosaurids. https://m.phys.org/news/2019-10-paleontologists-saurornitholestes-langstoni-specimen.html
  15. I found this lovely velociraptorine claw while searching my Wealden bone bed collection. I enjoyed taking these photos, they are some of the most striking images I have taken of a fossil I think.
  16. As far as I can tell, the evidence for pack hunting among Deinonychus hasn't changed; nor has any evidence come to light that contradicts it. The only argument I can find is that modern archosaurs don't pack hunt. But Harris hawks do, I don't know where that argument even comes from.
  17. Ok, so .. is it funny ? ... or am I still on West coast time and everything seems funny on the East coast ? It's late ... I know that much. Anyhoo .. I thought it was appropriate. I giggled ? Maybe you will too.
  18. I am currently working on a diorama/sculpture featuring a Pinacosaurus, some Protoceratops, and maybe a Velociraptor or alvarezsaur. From what I understand from the papers I have read, the Djadokhta formation was a semi-arid to arid biome, but I can't find any information on what kind of vegetation would have been present at that time. Does anyone have any insight on what kind of plant life you would expect to see in a Cretaceous desert? Thanks in advance. Progress pics coming soon.
  19. So not too long ago, I acquired a Protoceratops tooth from a German fossil gallery. And I have been looking for more fossils of the species for comparison both in price-range and rarity, but cannot seem to find any other protoceratops fossils anywhere. Does anyone know if these teeth are ever sold online? And have I perhaps made a heck of a buy? I'm not sure if the fossils from the Gobi Desert are rare or just hard to come by, unless you live in Asia. Any information would be appreciated, thanks! (Will put up some pictures of the tooth when I get home later)
  20. Hello everyone. I saw this fossil on an auction site and labeled as a velociraptor claw from Argentina but I heard that velociraptor is incredibly rare. Does anyone have any opinions on this and is it a real velociraptor claw or some other dromeosaurid? In my opinion it looks more like a tooth. Thanks.
