Just wanted to post some of my favourites from the last few months of collecting. Winter is only a few short months away so I’m heading to the field whenever I can. We’ve got some tyrannosaurid (gorgosaurus or daspletosaurus) toe bones as of this morning! Very excited about that. Bunch of verts including a big one, I know most of the verts aren’t from the same animal but I like to set them up like a tail for visitors The ornithomimid claw, a few tyrannosaurid teeth, croc scute & skull section (I believe that vert belongs to a croc as well, the one before the string) little theropod limb bone and the longer one under the claw I believe is ornithomimid as well as it was close to the claw. Maybe a radius or ulna? Also putting some photos of my friend & I out in the area and the landscape itself. Enjoy!

Hello! We were at Big Brook today and my son found this. Not sure what it is (if anything) and I cannot find any thing similar on the Big Brook websites. We also found some teeth and what might be a hadrosaur tooth fragment (second image). Can anyone confirm the hadrosaur tooth?

I finally finished a shadowbox display for some of my Edmontosaurus fossils. The top 2 are a proximal and distal sections of dorsal ribs. Both found a few inches apart, but are probably not the same actual rib. Bottom right is a small rib head section my son found 10 years ago. Its either a juvenile rib head or an adult cervical rib. Bottom left is an ossified tail tendon and the only complete one I've found (or even seen found). You typically only find 1" - 2" long bits and never the vertebral connection. I find it rather funny how much time was spent cleaning, repairing and prepping these to remove all the matrix, only to carefully craft a display that makes them look like they are still embedded in matrix. The "sand" background the bones are mounted in is actually the matrix these fossil came from. I collected a small amount from the quarry, then screened it before gluing it to the mount surface. The final thing I have left to do is create an informational data plaque for it.

I recently got this rather nice Edmontosaurus annectens braincase from the Lance formation. But what's interesting, it has this large hole in the top of the skull. The seller has told me that the hole is not the result of any collecting or prep damage. The seller found the piece themselves and apparently it was found upside down in the field. I've bought from this seller before and they always have high quality fossils so I'm inclined to believe the seller when they say that this hole is old damage. So then my first thought would then be, could this be a big tooth mark? Although I don't want to jump to conclusions. It's a large gash on the top of the skull. On the top there are a few pieces of bone that kinda seem like they were pushed in and on the side there are some bone fragments that seem to be kinda push out. Something pushed in from the top and then ripped out to the side maybe? I have some T.rex replica teeth and one seems to fit fairly decently. So I'm wondering, how plausible is it that this is a T. rex bite mark? We know T.rex ate Edmontosaurus of course, and we know it can crush bone. Opinions? Braincase overview. Hole closeups.

Dinosaur Eggs from Heyuan, China
Crazyhen posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
This is a clutch of 3 eggs from Heyuan, China. The egg measures about 9cm. Are they genuine? What about the shell coverage %? -
Hello, a selection of Hadrosaur teeth I'm interested in. Seller is uncertain of species on most, so any thoughts appreciated. 1 - From Judith River formation. 0.3 inch 2 - Judith river. 0.6 inch. Seems same species as 1? 3 - Judith river. 0.7 inch This one, it doesn't too clearly but seller says the tooth has denticles on the rim of the crown resembling Gryposaurus, but says Gryposaurus isn't from this formation yet. This one interests me most. 4 - Lance Formation. 0.8 inch. This one, seller is confident to be edmontosaurus. Many thanks

From Hell Creek. Matches others online, but I will double check here to make sure. Would be a nice, cheap companion piece for my small hadrosaur teeth. 4 x 4 x 1.2. Thanks

Got access to some more private land near Dinosaur PP, company owned. My friend was familiar with this area since he was a kid so he said we should check it out, and we found some awesome dinosaur fossils! So far nothing was collected, but yesterday I got ahold of the land supervisor for the company and after receiving some paperwork coming my way on Monday I will be permitted to surface collect anything I find in this area, so this thread will be updated with more finds this coming week. Here are some photos of what we found so far: A lot of the bones looked like they were from a hadrosaur, sort of confirmed when I found this hadrosaur tooth. However there were two partial tyrannosaurid teeth nearby as well...maybe the hadrosaur got munched on... Limb bone (?) with multiple vertebrae nearby. I set them next to the large bone for the photo. Another vert, this one is in the ground so unfortunately I can’t do anything with it. Many, many bones were scattered around the area. Much more photos to come...very excited about collecting here!!

Dinosaur skin -- edmontosaurus
FF7_Yuffie posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I've seen a couple of these for sale. This one is in my budget, but are they legit? Described as fragment of Edmonotosaurus skin from Hell Creek. It is 3 cm. by 2cm. Thanks -
Hadrosaur skin impression?
BonuFrailman posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Good afternoon everyone, I’ve previously seen some skin impressions on the auction site but not one for a low price like this one. However, I have trouble seeing where the scale impressions are on the fossil and was wondering if you guys could make them out, if this even is a skin impression. Fossil is 2.5 cm x 1.5 cm From the Hell Creek Formation near Baker, Montana. -
Hey all, I found one tooth that’s certainly from a hadrosaur a while back, and I found this other one sitting right beside it but it’s pretty funky looking. Hoping you could tell me if it’s a hadrosaur tooth as well or just a suspicious rock. (Bottom one in the pic with the measuring tape) Thanks!
-
Sorry dont know location or anything Is the big thing even a fossil???? Is the second possibly a partial hadrosaur tooth? Thanks again.

So, this vert is labelled Hadrosaur/Edmontosaurus. Caudal vert from Lance formation. It is 24mm by 16mm. Thanks for the help.

Fossil Hunting From The Safety Of Your Home
Mioplosus_Lover24 posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
With the current pandemic I decided now was as good of a time as any to get some matrix from the Aguja Formation with the help of PaleoTex! This turned out to be a great decision as I was extremely lucky, finding about basically everything I wanted to, and more in only 5 pounds of matrix! I'll be sure to post pictures but I got numerous amia and gar teeth, along with atleast 36 gar scales. Tons of Crocodile teeth including a large Deinosuchus tooth. Several shark teeth and a partial hybodus spine, also several brackish water pycnodontid teeth and tooth pallets. 4 fish or salamander jaws with teeth. Regarding dinosaur teeth I got 17 Hadrosaur teeth, including 2 partially rooted. A partial Ankylosaurus tooth. 4 Therapod teeth including a perfect Saurornitholestes tooth and a Premax. My favorite find however was the Paronychodon tooth I found! I'll be posting that picture first! Highly recommend this matrix, but I was also told that most people don't find all this stuff, so keep that in mind aswell. Stay safe! Happy hunting!

Hi All, This is suppose to be a hadrosaur toe bone that has evidence of predation. Looks like big claw gashes, maybe ungal claws from a Rex? Please comment on your thoughts? Enjoy!
-
Here is a hadrosaur ungal that appears to have been chomped on postmortem by a big carnivore, like Rex. Found in Hellcreek SD. What do you all think?

Hi everyone, I would like to ask about the specific ID and prep for this bone. It was found as float in a NJ Cretaceous stream. It is very dense (mineralized) and at the same time still has formation sticking to it (the little pieces of pyrite indicate that it is in fact from the Wenonah formation since there are no other formations in the area). The only thing of this shape and size I could think of would be a Hadrosaur limb bone section that is close to the epiphysis. Are there any other opinions? @non-remanié @Troodon Is there any recommended prep for it? The bone itself is very stable, however, I am a little concerned about the pyrite. It doesn’t seem like there is that much pyrite in it, just stuck to the outside. But I want to make sure it is safe - are there any recommendations for the pyrite removal, stabilization, etc.? @Ptychodus04 Thank you, Joseph

Found this on our favorite site what’s everyone think?

I bought this YEARS ago and it has been sitting on a shelf ever since. Never took the time to verify it's authenticity, but from what I have seen on this site it definitely appears to be fake.

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...

Hey, Others viewing this section regularly will see my current project is a mosasaur skull, I have however been splitting my time between this and finishing my last (first real) prep project which has been dragging a little; this fibula. I bought this off a top chap (Ryan at Hell Creek Dinosaurs) who discovered it on one of his trips last summer, but decided it wasn't one for his collection. It was covered in a horrible chalk/clay coating which (as Ryan predicted) was the stuff of nightmares to get off. That said, with dark nights and miserable weather in the UK, time was something I have had on my side recently, so three months later, here's the finished item. In reality, it's been finished for a while, but I only got round to making the display stand yesterday and wanted to show the finished project. It's about 50cm long and comes from the Hell Creek formation. Ryan suggested it could be a Triceratops or a Hardosaur (Edmontosaurus one assumes) and although I'm erring on the latter, will admit I'm not 100% sure, so please let me know if you have a clearer opinion! Given this is my first 'real' prep job, would love to know thoughts and/or improvements I could make - It came in six sections, they were cleaned using a variety of tools (engraver, Dremel, dentist pics and various other hand tools/abrasives). End of each section stabilised and strengthened with CA, glued together with epoxy and finally coated in PVB to protect. Showing pics from find (Ryan very kindly agreed I could use. Sir, if you're a member of this forum and happen to see this, thanks again!) all the way through to now (as at yesterday in fact) Cheers Dave

Hadrosaur trackway contribution
dinosaur man posted a topic in Partners in Paleontology - Member Contributions to Science
I have recently been looking at some of my photos from trips and found photos of when I was in Alberta in 2018. I saw a photo of a Hadrosaur footprint from a trackway in Dinosaur Provincial Park that me and my brother found. I also read not to long ago that no big trackways have been found in this area so I decided to give the information and location to the Palaeontologist at the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller, Alberta. I was responded by Dr. Caleb Brown, he told me that I was most likely right and it was probably Hadrosaur. I am currently waiting for him to reply again to see what he thinks about the other information of the trackway and footprint that I gave him. One of the footprints outlined in the photo with pen.- 20 replies

Hi I’m wondering if this is a Hadrosaur carpal or a carpal from another animal. I’ve seen photos and diagrams of Hadrosaur hands and it doesn’t seem to fit, just something with it just doesn’t settle with me as Hadrosaur carpal. Its 3.7cm by 3cm and is from the Horseshoe canyon formation of Alberta, Canada. Thank you!!
