Dinobot Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Hello let me start of by say you all are awesome! Amateurs like myself have got a lot more confidence because of the help you give us. It was great day when I discovered this site I had bought these a ways back and I was going thru my collection and it would be great to get an opinion if I these are what they were described as. The "raptor claw" was the first ever fossil I bought! (Fingers crossed haha) The COA said it was from the Taquiz, kasar-es-souk, region in Morocco. I believe the seller told be the red lines we blood grooves? It was probably 10 years ago so I dont recall much else about the ad. The other two were bought from the same seller, who did not have much reviews so I took a chance I guess. He described them as a "tricertops frill spike" and an "ankylosaurus armor scute" all i have regarding these ones is that is was found on private land in Wyoming in Lance creek formation... Any input would be greatly appreciated! I tried to follow the posting etiquette sorry If I missed something. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darktooth Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Welcome to the forum! I believe the claw to be real but I can't speak for the other pieces. 1 I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpc Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 the brown above the claw is a rock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 The claw is not terribly curved, it could be a crocodile. I don't think the "frill" piece is identifiable.... pure chunkosaur. It looks like your seller is grasping for IDs. That is my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Yea I with jpc on this one. The claw could be theropod and would lean more that way but there are a lot of Crocodyliforms from the Kem Kem that it could fit. I would expect to see more vascular grooves on that frill piece to call it one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
