Hear! Hear!

If it's yours Frank, it will be yours no matter what.

Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday!

A new addition to my collection a left dentary of a juvenile Ceratopsian from the Lance Formation of Wyoming with a good percentage of teeth still present.  Often the thin sheath of bone covering the tooth battery is not present and the teeth fall out.   Excellent preservation on this jaw, no restoration needed.

Well my collecting buddy Tom C. knew I would be appreciative for something different and unique.   So at the Tucson show he gave me this Ceratopsian Tendon possibly Trike that only a few crazy collectors like myself would enjoy.   Its almost 2 feet long that's 60 cm.  From Montana.  AND yes I think its very cool, find another one :ighappy:

How was this identified as a tendon? I am slightly confused.

Never questioned what he gave me but have never seen one.  Looks a lot like the ones I collect from hadrosaurs and others.  What else could it be?

I have no idea myself. I was asking in the sense of having never seen one either. I would hopefully like to identify tendons in the future.

There were several collected .   The ones I find from Edmontosaur's are just long rods around 1/4" in diameter and the ends flare out.

Here are a couple of tendons from an Edmontosaurus that I collected.
