rkfrace Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Hello. A while ago I purchased this specimen from a highly reputable and established seller. It's a T-Rex jaw fragment from Lance Creek, Wyoming, and was a surface find (see photos of the original specimen in situ; according to the finder, "the piece in question is at the very bottom left, on top of the edge of the longer bigger bone; the tooth grooves are face-down."). I'm reaching out to Fossil Forum for guidance along the following lines: 1) What part of the jaw is this most likely from? I've been studying images on-line at a cursory level, but I can't find the distinction convex part of the bone that my specimen has (the part that sticks out like a thin ridge). Any thoughts or, even better, photos of comparable specimens? 2) I trust the original seller, but since it was not found as part of a larger Rex specimen, I figured I'd ask for your confirmation: is this almost certainly a T-Rex? I'm fairly knowledgeable regarding teeth, but not mandibles. Thank you all very much in advance; any insight would be deeply appreciated. With best regards and gratitude, Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
