My Jurassic Park - Europe

[Miocene_Mason]

That partial Baryonychid jaw made my human jaw drop a few feet! WOW indeed!

@WhodamanHD @Tidgy's Dad @Bobby Rico @JohnBrewer @gigantoraptor @TyBoy thank you all for your feedback.  These were jaw dropping pickups

Fantastic acquisitions

 

Amazing fossils like always. Thanks for sharing

Beautiful specimens!

[Laditz]

Wow, you don't see these kind of specimens come up for sale anywhere. Must have some good connections in the UK!

 

Is that a cross-section of another tooth in the centre of the Baryonychine jaw between the other teeth?

Yes, there are three visible teeth in that jaw and one broken at the gum line like you said.   I need to do some prep on it to clean the matrix around the teeth.  Very lucky to obtain them....

Nice, can't wait to see how it will look cleaned up!

Are they definitely Baryonychine?

 

I was told by the seller it was potentially Eotyrannus but you’re lucky enough to see it first hand in person!

 

incredible fossil nonetheless I’m very jealous

Never seen an Eotyrannus tooth so cannot comment.   You can see the vertical ridges on the crown typical of a Bary..and its more oval in cross-section than compressed.  So I think its one but again not a lot of comparative material around why I named it to the level I did.  I do have a lot of erasers handy  ..

The uncertainty around the definitive species doesn’t take away how impressive it is. You’re probably one of a handful to personally own such a fossil! 

 

Congratulations on being the lucky collector to have obtained it

One easy test to see if Eotyrannus is a candidate is if there are any serrations. The teeth have an odd shape for a Baryonychine but I think this is a good assumption so far.

Obvious good point, and they have no serrations

Germany

Germany is represented in my collection by two isolated theropod teeth one Triassic Ceratosaurid and the other a Jurassic Dilophosaurid.

WOW - that's fascinating !! Really a treasure !!

Dilophosaurid: never heard about finds of that species in germany. Could you give more info, pls. ? Would be VERY interesting !

Halticosaurus (renamed afak, now Liliensternus liliensterni): rare specimens (i think 2 more or less incomplete skeletons were found and some tooth) comes from official excavations in 1930's. Never heard about new finds since this time. Could you give more info, pls. ? Would be VERY interesting !

Thank you.  Unfortunately I cannot add much to what you see.  Picked them up a very long time ago from an old collection in europe.

[Pemphix]

The thing is that if the teeth are named properly and were found in the area and member mentioned in the thread, they are from scientific interest.

As already written, i do not know about any Dilophosauridae found in Germany ever (known are some Sauropodes and Theropodes, Stegocephalia..).

And Liliensternus is only known from the HUENE excavation in 1932/33. Only two partial skeletons are known from this excavation until today.

So material from both species are extremely rare and every find would be of scientific interest.

Would be interesting from which collection to get more infos...

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 and beautiful Sauropod tooth from France

 

 

 

A huge Torvosaurus tooth from Portugal

This paper might be useful for determining whether it's an adult or juvenile: Ornithopod dinosaur notes - look especially at the first part of the paper (pages 216 to 223)

 

Welcome back, by the way! It's good to have you back
