Troodon Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Well the Tuscon fossil show is just a few days away and I'm already getting calls from sellers wanting to get together this weekend. Hopefully the show will be full of cool displays and will pass on a few of those images next week. But here we are week 3 in the new year so lets begin with this weeks show. An almost complete hatchling specimen of the basal sauropodomorph Mussaurus patagonicus from the MacnVp colletion in Argentina. This specimen is from the Early Jurassic of the Argentinian Patagonia Courtesy, Bernardino Rivadavia Natural Sciences Argentine Museum Skull is in top right. A couple of photos of the T rex Scotty Now this is a T rex tooth, one of the best I've seen and gotta like its size Femur Another T rex specimen this one Burke's Museum... they say " can you believe that the humerus (upper arm bone) of a T. rex is nearly the same size as yours? " Pretty rare specimen, not a lot around From the NHM Dino lab The weird Triassic herbivore Pisanosaurus in the PVL collections. Based on a single partial skeleton discovered in the Ischigualasto Formation of the Ischigualasto-Villa Unión Basin in northwestern Argentina Also from the NHM Dinolab : Coloradisaurus is a genus of massospondylid sauropodomorph dinosaur. It lived during the Late Triassic period in what is now La Rioja Province, Argentina. It is known from the holotype PVL 5904, nearly complete skull. The recently-named Cryodrakon boreas was one of the largest-ever flying animals, with an estimated 10-meter wingspan. This tibia contains a tooth left behind by a scavenging dromaeosaur. Courtesy Royal Tyrrell Museum. Now thats a cool specimen... These beautiful feet belong to a nearly complete specimen of Saurornitholestes, from Alberta.

Troodon Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 From the Perot Museum a Tyrannosaurid tooth from the Liscomb Bonebed, North Slope, Alaska, where the first Alaska Dinosaurs were found. From the ROM : Members of the public found this Edmontosaurus skull just 18 km from the Museum in 2017. It is the first complete skull of this common hadrosaur species discovered in Alberta in over 50 years. Erythrosuchus at the Evolutionary Studies Institute! Their ridiculously large head to body ratio was suited to fill hypercarnivorous niches following the end-Permian mass extinction. Courtesy of Kevin Hoffman Every wonder how to tell a Gorgosaurs or Nanotyrannus Ilium from a T rex ..they have an has an ilialic hook T rex Ever wonder if Dinosaurs could cross frozen lakes? Well the park service in Vermont or New Hampshire posted this chart to help guide them across these waterways. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also reminds me to of Godzilla. Thanks Frank for the great post and I love the ice thickness poster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How silly of me. Thank you for pointing that out. 1 -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers.

jpc Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Here is a fun one from the Tate Museum collections. A small Pachycephalosaur jaw (at least that is what I am calling it). This was found on one of our Tate Dinosaur Safaris in 2012. The woman who found it went back home to Seattle and started volunteering at the Burke. Three years or so ago, they said to he... "Here, you can work on this thing..." It was their new rex skull. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
