rejd Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) Here are just a few micros that I collected on the weekend. I have lots more just need to get them cleaned up and photographed. pic 1 -- Myledaphus centrumpic 2 -- Belonostomus jawpic 3 and 4 -- Champsosaur caudal centrumpic 5 -- Ceratopsian toothpic 6 -- claw, I think probably of a small theropod but could be ornithomimid or even tyrannosaurid pic 7-- Champsosaur dorsal centrum I hope you like them!

jpc Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 nice stuff.. of course that's a biased opinion. I am a big fan of late Cretaceous micros like these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rejd Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) Thanks, I am most pleased with the myledaphus centrum as they are almost always found broken.

jpc Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I agree. Among the thousands of late Cretaceous micros I have collected, I have only one Myledaphis centrum and a total of zero belonostomus jaws. Good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rejd Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 For me that is my first myledaphus and belonostomus pieces. So I guess a good day for me.
