Comments on Dino Items in Auction
Troodon posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Proper identification of Dinosaur Material with European auctions is typical of what you find in Domestic one. Here are comments on a few items being offered since a number of our members are attracted by their offerings. Here is a beautiful rooted Tyrannosaur tooth being offered. The description suggest it might be a Tyrannosaurus rex but states it there is no label. The preservation looks like a Tarbosaurus from Mongolia, not T rex. The other observation I would make is that there appears to be significant restoration to the lower half of the root which is not stated. A number of T rex teeth being offered appear to look more like Nanotyrannus not T rex. Use caution on all teeth. All of the teeth offered as Albertosaurus should be labeled has Tyrannosaurid indet. e A Triceratops horridus ungual being offered looks more like the hadrosaur Edmontosaurus. Numerous lots of items being offered are Triceratops horridus should be better identified has either Triceratops sp. or Ceratopsian indet. Quite a bit Moroccan Kem Kem material being offered, caution with all of it. The larger teeth are accurate but smaller Abelisaurid teeth are misidentified has Deltadromeus or Rugops. This Deltadromeus raptor claw may not even be Dinosaurian difficult to make that call. Isolated toe bones are hard to ID to a species especially . This one may be has listed Spinosaurus but a better call would be Theropod indet. Just exercise caution and if there are items you are interested in feel free to post them here for our input.- 15 replies
