Can I trouble you to post clearer and closer shots of the three large wall riker mounts you have above your cabinet with the triceratops brow horn an other horns? Would like be to see those claws and such in better detail. Thanks Close up of those claws are already in this post and in my other Jurassic park posts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The smaller cabinets I built over 3-5 year period before I moved into this building from my previous house in Delaware. Are you having second thoughts about your move to Arizona? What is it, about 200 degrees there now! A lot cooler in Delaware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Andy- Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 So Frank, did you install the sensor to play the Jurassic Park theme when someone enters your museum? 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!

Killclaw Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Absolutely jaw dropping......that is my dream for what my dinosaur room will one day look like! Is Mrs Troodon allowed in the cave of wonders?? As an Ankylosaur fan my eye was particularly drawn to that stunning collection of scutes. Sorry if I have missed them in your previous MJP posts but what dinosaur and formation are they from please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if I have missed them in your previous MJP posts but what dinosaur and formation are they from please? Thanks. I'll let the wife in but under close supervision. All the material in that table is from the Hell Creek Formation, Garfield Co. Montana . The scutes are actually associated and believe they are from a Nodosaur like Edmontonia or Denversaurus. The tail club is from Ankylosaurus magniventris per Pete Larsen same area as Scutes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those scutes are superbly preserved. Is there a way to differentiate easily the fossil scutes of the Nodosaurs from those of Ankylosaurus itself? I've seen preserved skeletons from Edmontonia so I can recognise that armour pattern but nothing comparable from Ankylosaurus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no expert but Nodosaurs have more spikes on their scutes and Anky's just a center ridge. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Longtime lurker of this forum. Saying your collection is mindblowing would be reductive, very beautiful specimens! I have a note however, are you sure the 'Agujaceratops' skull is really from the Aguja? The seller gave you the locality data? Because I'm 100% confident that the skull pertain to a centrosaurine (naso-premaxillary septum, tickened narial bar, shortened postorbital horncores, etc), and a very derived one. This would be the first record of such animal south of Montana. On other hands, the predentary seems to be some sort of chasmosaurine, since it lack the distinctive tomial margin of centrosaurines, so maybe is Agujaceratops after all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a Ceratopsian expert and very open to anyones thought s on it. Locality is pretty firm. Thanks for the info, if so that's extremely interesting. I've worked on ceratopsians for a number of years, based on what is preserved I would say it's some kind of non-pachyrhinosaurin eucentrosaurans (i.e. akin to Centrosaurus, Styracosaurus or Spinops), but withouth a frill is impossible to be more precise. Coming from Texas, where no centrosaurine are actually known, it's very likely that belong to a new taxon (I've read here that you know David Evans from the ROM, I'm sure he'll be interested!) BTW, great specimens, thanks for sharing them Edited December 29, 2017 by Panzer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
