BirdsAreDinosaurs Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 (edited) Welcome to... my tiny dinosaur museum! I used to work at the largest natural history museum of the Netherlands and now I created a little copy of my own. I just recently started collecting dinosaur teeth from Morocco. At the moment I have 7 teeth: two Spinosaurids, one Carcharodontosaurid, 3 Abelisaurids and a Titanosaurid. As you can see, I also like to collect dinosaur models that are more or less accurate according to latest insights. The museum is still under construction: the labels are not correct (this is what I got from the fossil dealers, I need to make better ones) and I need more figures (I really hope one of my favourite manufacturers will produce a nice Rugops in the future) and teeth. Those Dromaeosaurid models are obviously out of place, but they will stay as long as I do not have more appropriote models. The next few teeth I would like to add are one bigger Carch, one specimen of the teeth that are often labeled as Deltadromeus and one or more Dromaeosaurid-like teeth. I do not know many good dealers in the EU, so if anyone has any tips that would be greatly appreciated!

You could always just use Carnotaurus or Majungasaurus given that at least one Kem Kem Abelisaurid has horn/s based on isolated material. Not sure which is considered more basal, 1 or 2 horns.

FF7_Yuffie Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Cool collection. The models look great. A Rebachisaurus tooth would a nice addition to go alongside the Titanosaur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BirdsAreDinosaurs Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) My small collection of Kem Kem dinosaur teeth has grown quite a bit, so I figured it is time for an update. Here is an overview of what I have now. These are my carcharodontosaurid teeth. The largest one is 7.5 cm long. I am not 100% sure if the smallest one is carch, but it does look a lot like a tooth that was identified as a anterior carch tooth on this forum. I like to collect teeth from different jaw positions. I also take colour into account when searching for teeth. Next up are my spinosaurid teeth. The largest one is close to 6.5 cm. These are my sauropod teeth. The largest one (3.5 cm) is titanosaurid, the one on the left is probably rebbachisaurid. Not too sure about the one in the middle. I am looking to add a couple more sauropod tooth morph types to my collection. These beautiful little teeth (less than 2 cm) are all abelisaurid. These two larger teeth (3 cm) might also be abelisaurid, bit I am not really sure about the one on the left. Could it be a juvenile carch tooth? And last but not least, these three indeterminate theropod teeth (the largest one is 3 cm). I do like a good mystery. That's it! Now I am planning to make proper labels for all teeth and to improve my display a bit, as it became a bit cluttered and more teeth are coming in Edited July 1, 2022 by BirdsAreDinosaurs 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BirdsAreDinosaurs Posted March 9, 2023 Author Share Posted March 9, 2023 I finally found some time to make the labels based on my own illustrations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Rico Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 (edited) A sweet looking mini museum ( not so small at that) Indeed. Your illustration look great . Edited March 9, 2023 by Bobby Rico 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordWampa Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Really nice museum, It seems to be growing really fast! I like that you also use the PNSO (at least some of theme) together with the teeth. I like a lot the effect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously, I have decided to stop buying teeth for the moment and to enjoy and cherish what I have now. Nice display you have there! PNSO figures are my favourite by far Edited March 9, 2023 by BirdsAreDinosaurs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
