My Jurassic Park - Europe

[KimTexan]

Beautiful and impressive tooth. Very interesting skull. Only 2.5 “ that is pretty small.

You have been missed. Many, many people inquired about your absence. We were all quite concerned about you.

Well thank you for the kind words just needed a break from the forum and all the action associated with it.

 

Hypsilophodon's are very small herbivores you can see a complete skull in the image below, scale bar for skull 10 mm and teeth 1 mm

More nice additions!

[Pemphix]

Good to see you're well and back to the forum Frank !

Awesome fossils, wish I could have some like those. Correct me if I am wrong but isn’t some areas of Sussex too old to wield fossils from Baryonyx Walkeri?

Regards, indominus rex

Very very cool Frank! I want to find one from this location one day! thanks for sharing! Love the detail in the tooth enamel and cool it's got a root!

[Troodon]

A very cool tooth from a indeterminate Stegosaurus from the Jurassic of Portugal about 7 mm, typical size for this Dino.   From the Lourinha Formation.

 

Excellent preservation on this specimen.

Stegosaurus

Wow that’s on my bucket list a stegosaurus tooth  . It is such an Interesting looking creature I bet early palaeontologists  had fun constructing their skeletons . Nice thread.

Also I don’t know how true this but I read it was thought at first that stegosaurus walked on two legs like Godzilla stylings .

Have not heard that one but the oldest known stego is from the UK was a quadropedal.  Not much is known about its ancestors

A few items I picked up at the show or just before it

 

 

From the UK a lovely Hypsilophodon skull - pretty small dino, not sure if this is adult size or not

 

A huge Torvosaurus tooth from Portugal

@Troodon what is the Bombarral Formation?  I have tried finding information on it but have no luck (never heard of it before).  Is it a sub-unit of the Lourinha Formation?

Interesting.  So I have seen about a dozen fossils from the Alcobaca Formation in the past few years.  Just from doing a brief search, the Lourinha (Kimmeridgian-Tithonian) and Alcobaca Formations (Oxfordian-Kimmeridgian) have the same fauna but different ages?

 

P.S. the Torvosaurus is fantastic!  Probably the best theropod tooth I have seen from that location

Thanks and yes for Kimmeridgian/Tith age fauna and it's very similar to that of the Morrison FM 

[dinosaur man]

@Troodon amazing fossils!! your collection is amazing!! Always seems to amaze me that someone can have that great of a collection!! 

[Troodon]

Here is an interesting tooth from Russia, have to thank @FF7_Yuffie for the heads up on it.

Lovely tooth. Glad to see you won the auction for it.

[Troodon]

I don't post a lot of my Portuguese collection but here is one cool addition that I've have for some time.  It's an associated set of 7 baby Sauropod teeth and jaw fragment from the Lourinha Formation.   The largest tooth is 28 mm and smallest partial tooth 16 mm.
