Claws, Bones and Jaws ID Requests


TyrannosaurusRex

Recommended Posts

Looking to get some second opinions on some Permian stuff that I found a few weeks ago. 
Jefferson county, Waurika Oklahoma. 


You’ll have to ignore the paint on my hands, I’d been doing some painting prior to these photos. 
 

didn’t have a small enough ruler nor a printer, so I just made a small measurement reference. 4x 1/4 inch segments on paper. 

Claw 1

Most of the claws I’ve found are Trimerorhachis, but this one is definitely an outlier.

Claw 2

Likely Trimerorhachis?

Claws 3 & 4

Two more, the left is likely Trimerorhachis, but preservation on these aren’t great.

Claws 5 & 6

Two more. I suspect the one on the right is Trimerorhachis, the one on the left may be as well but it is larger than usual.

will add bones and other stuff to another reply.

Unsure on these. Found both of them near together and they were the only ones I recovered.

Really odd one. Has some sort of growth protruding from one edge of the bone.

A really strange one. I’m used to seeing this radiating fracture pattern in broken Xenacanthus teeth, but this clearly isn’t one. Has enamel on it.

3 of the better vertebra, the one on the right is Diplocaulus and the one on the left is either Dimetrodon or Edaphosaurus. Would prefer second opinions. Unsure on the middle one.

Very unusually large bone chunk. Likely unidentifiable, but I’m sure there’s only a few options for bone of that size. A9C6D91C-AB7B-4961-9684-2AC83912DBF3.thumb.jpeg.91e57613c939b58c268ead618010cfd6.jpeg3CC3C7C4-7FB0-4988-97DC-84C569A7EB87.thumb.jpeg.5d5d2b20938b340eedccfb340e678868.jpeg
 

One more for the time being. I know some members prefer one topic for numerous finds and some prefer separate topics, and I don’t know which is better. 
 

A small jaw piece featuring “tusk platform” (Kieran Davis’ Waurika Vertebrates) type teeth attachments.

I think clearer better lit pictures are needed without holding things, maybe if you could number them it will also help for referencing each one. :)

I’ll see what I can do, I simply don’t have a setup right now that handles small fossils well as far as photography goes. Thanks.

Try the microscope free app  it has helped me alot as it freezes a saves photomics.  Also playdough will help align small fossils.
