Gwen.Sauer Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Long story short my grandmother use to order fossils from a website. She would keep some of the authentication certificates because I was so young at the time of receiving these. When she had passed I learned she lost almost all of the paperwork. I've been struggling to identify these with such little information to go off of. Any help is greatly appreciated. First image to last: - Small roughly 1'' tooth - Was thought to be plesiosaur tooth but it looks slightly different then the confirmed plesiosaur tooth I own - unknown -wrist or ankle of some sort, mammoth or mastodon -unknown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB003 Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 First one looks like a pterosaur. I'd say Kem Kem but thats purely a guess on my part. 1 *Frank* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 First looks like a pterosaur tooth from the Kem Kem region of Morocco Second is a plesiosaur also from Ouled Abdoun Basin of Morocco Third/fourth Dinosaur toe bone thinking it's from a hadrosaurid but need more views Fifth mammal bone, wait for those experts to chime in, Last Theropod limb bone might be a metatarsal Without a locality cannot say much more on the Dinosaur items 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwen.Sauer Posted August 24, 2022 Author Share Posted August 24, 2022 So a bit of new information, I spoke with my grandfather and he had mentioned that my grandmother had bought many of these from Morocco and bought/ collected some of these herself from hell Creek. She took me on a dig with her to South Dakota once and I wish I could remember more. Many of these had the occasional note wrapped around them that said Hell Creek but I don't know how many of those got swapped around over the years. Obviously there's the occasional outlier like the Mastodon tooth and the mammoth wristbone. But I hope these two locations can help narrow some of this down.
