Pointy Prizes From The Past


Carl

Recommended Posts

A few days in the Hell Creek and Morrison Fms. What a week!

1) A projectile point, not yet aged.

2) A perfect Nanotyrannus tooth staring at a fragment of a ceratopsian tooth.

3) A marsupial (?Didephodon) jaw fragment.

4) Two Allosaurus teeth and a smaller theropod tooth found in the first 15 minutes on site.

Don't know why but the allosaur teeth photo was swapped with the tyrannosaur shot...

EDIT: The were not "attached" to the text box, so they displayed in order of file number.

I stuck them down, so the order is correct now.

OK Carl, seriously, how hard would it have been to stop by on your way west and pick me up?

:P

That jaw is spectacular!
