    Claw? Talon? Tooth?

    Out on the river yesterday and had a few interesting finds (nothing as big as @Meganeura!). This one I first thought was a tooth as when I spotted it in the sifter I thought it had a bit of enamel near the tip. Once I picked it up I thought it was too thin and curved to be a tooth. That left me with claw or talon as options I think are possible. Several searches on line failed to provide anything I thought was a good match. The only thing that seems a possibility was a photo created by @Harry Pristis of a Titanis walleri claw. Dare I think this is what it could be? It seems too wide and thin to be an eagle talon and I could not match it up with various mammal claws. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Jack, @Shellseeker, have you come across anything similar? The specimen measures: 1 3/4" long x 5/8" wide x 3/8" thick or 43mm long x 17mm wide x 8mm thick

    Raptor teeth?

    Hi everyone, I’m new to this forum and fossils in general and was hoping to get an ID on two fossil teeth that were labeled as “raptor” teeth. I’m still learning some terminology, so forgive me if I mislabel something. Thank you in advance! both are said to be from the Kem Kem Beds in Morocco, although the darker brown one has a specific location in Taouz, Kem Kem Basin, Morocco. Distal edge above.mesial edge above. distal edge above.mesial edge above.

    Tooth ID - Nano?

    Hi all! Got 2 teeth in today and trying to see what we can and can't ID. I'll be posting the second one a bit later on this thread once I can get around to taking picture. As a note, I cannot feel any serrations on either. Information on first tooth below. I'm thinking nano or unidentifiable. Thanks for any input. HCF from Carter County, Montana.
  4. Hi everyone! I recently acquired some really interesting little Theropod teeth from the Hell Creek Formation of Carter County Montana. I have my suspicions on IDs, but I would really like a second opinion. Tooth 1: My first thought with this little guy was Troodontid, but I have no experience with Troodontid teeth. It might also be a really tiny Dromaeosaur. No serrations or even a trace of serrations on the mesial side is kind of a unique feature. It doesn't look like they were there and wore off either, it looks like there were never serrations on that side. Tooth 2: I posted a similar tooth before awhile ago. It was also kind of a mystery. This one's a fair bit bigger though. I've heard rumblings of a "third Hell Creek Dromaeosaur" similar to this. Of course it could also be a Nanotyrannus. Tooth 3 and 4: These are really interesting. I initially thought they were Nanotyrannus, but much like the first tooth there is no trace of serrations on the mesial carina and it seems there also never was. Tooth 4 has some wear on some parts of the carina but other places are without wear and have no traces of serrations. Meanwhile tooth 3 has a great carinae and no traces of serrations. Another member showed me pics recently of Dromaeosaur teeth similar to this and I'm wondering if these are Dromaeosaur anteriors or I'm just imagining things and their little Nanotyrannuses. Any insight is greatly appreciated as always!

    Acheroraptor? Something else?

    Hi all, Trying to place an ID on it. Seller had it listed as "dromaeosaur". I wanted the near perfect troodon tooth that came with it so didn't matter what this was. Looks like a tiny little acheroraptor to me but I could be wrong. Still learning. Tough to get closer on the serrations even with a macro lens but if needed just let me know. Thoughts? Thanks, Frank From Hell Creek - Carter County, MT Measurements below in mm.

    Nemegt "raptor" tooth.

    Hi there. I'm looking at this tooth listed here as coming from the Nemegt Formation. I'm curious as to what everyone else makes of it. The seller states it is a "raptor" tooth but is unable to make any further guesses, I feel that is quite far from accurate but Nemegt is a blind spot for me. I know a picture like this is far too unclear, but I feel the morphology of this tooth is interesting enough against the seller's I.D. It's a bit late right now so I'm not going to hit the literature for the time being. I will say that the term raptor being used over any taxonomical nomenclature is enough to trigger my scepticism irrespective of their reasoning.
  7. Hi everyone! This came from Powder River County, Montana Hell Creek Formation. CH is 12 mm (I think, not sure where the root begins.) CBL is 5 mm CBW is 2 mm no serrations on the mesial side but there are some on the distal side but only in the middle and not near the tip. The density is 7/mm. I have a two others like this I'll try and post pics of later. one other has full serrations on the distal side (7/mm) and some very light serrations at the base of the mesial side (7/mm) and another that's fully serrated on both sides (7/mm on both sides) Other than that the teeth are nearly identical right down to a D shape cross section and overall shape which is supposed to mean Tyrannosaur but these don't look like Nano or rex. What are these?
  8. Hello! I am student of the biological sciences with an intended minor in geology. I have been collecting fossils for a long time, and am excited to join the forum! I just purchased my first "dinosaur" specimen from an annual fossil show. My collection and interest has always been in Paleozoic invertebrates, so my dinosaur knowledge is extremely limited. The seller said the species was of the Dromaeosaurus genus and the origin was from the well known Hell Creek formation, however I took everything he said with a grain of salt. After reading some previous posts on the forum i've seen that it may be from morocco, and henceforth not part of the Dromaeosaurus genus. The length of the tooth is exactly 1/2 an inch in length. I've included some photos below of the exact condition in which it was sold to me. I know identification from a single tooth can be difficult, so I'm grateful for any information that can be provided on the specimen! Please let me know if more adequate photos need to be provided, I have several microscopes in my collection that could get a closer view of the serrations.

    Are any of these raptor claws?

    Hi everyone! I acquired some dinosaur claw partials and am trying to learn to tell them apart. There are a few different morphologies so not all of them are Anzu (I think). Any insight would be greatly appreciated! The length measurement given is from the tip to the top of the base in a straight line Upper left, first pic set: 24 mm Upper right, second pic set: 21.5 mm Lower left, third pic set: 29 mm lower middle, fourth pic set: 25 mm (probably Anzu) Lower right, fifth pic set: 26 mm (also probably Anzu)
  10. Hi everyone! How do I differentiate cretaceous hollow bones from Morocco from being Pterosaur or something else like raptor or theropod? Here's a few hollow bones I'm working with right now, if e could provide some insight on differentiating them I'd really appreciate it. I think all but the one in the lower middle is Pterosaur since it has really thick bone walls.

    Is this a raptor claw?

    Hi everyone! I speaking with a fossil dealer about potentially purchasing a big claw from Morocco It doesn't look like it's fake or restored the question is the id. Can anyone offer insight if it's deltadromaeus, dromaesaur, or something else? It measures a bit over 2.5 inches along the curve. Thanks as always!
  12. Hi everyone, About a week ago I posted pictures of a tiny carnivorous dinosaur tooth from Hell Creek thinking it was raptor and it wound up being Tyrannosaur. Since then I've been taking a closer look at my other tiny teeth and this one which I thought was Acheroraptor stuck out to me when I took a closer look at the serrations. It also occurred to me that there are serrations (although very worn that I for the life of me could not get a decent shot of but are present) on the anterior carina which you don't see on Acheroraptor teeth so now I'm leaning more towards a tiny Tyrannosaur, but I'm still learning so I was hoping for a second opinion. Thanks as always!
  13. Hi everyone! I've got one more tiny hell creek tooth that I need help on. I didn't even think there was any mystery to it until I took a really close look at it. I acquired it as part of a set of Paronychodon teeth which are pretty distinctive looking and at first glance I though that's what this was since it's a small theropod tooth with the prominent lines going up the side (I forget what they're called) and with really nice serrations and wait..... Paronychodon doesn't have serrations. At least I don't think it does. I looked around to see if there have been any documented serrated Paronychodon teeth and the only place I found that said it had serrations also claimed that Paronychodon is three feet long and ninety feet tall so I don't think I can rely on that site. My money is on Acheroraptor at the moment but I'm terrible at identifying Dromaeosaur material so I'd like a second opinion. Tooth is 1 cm long straight line measurement.
  14. Hi everyone! I could really use a second opinion on this one. I'm thinking Dromaeosaur Acheroraptor at first but after looking at more pics I'm not sure if it might be Ricardoestesia or possibly even a juvenile Dakotaraptor. It's Hell Creek, about .35 inches. Serrations don't veer off to one side near the base so I really don't think it's a baby Nano. If pictures from another angle are needed to make an id let me know. Any feedback is greatly appreciated as always!

    Tooth from the Kem Kem beds

    Hello, I'm trying to correctly identify a tooth found in the Kem Kem formation. It is clearly predatory! I was told it was possibly dromeosaurus, however after a search it seems there are many wrongly identified as this species from that location. Any help would be much appreciated.
