Carcharodontosaurus Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 What sorts of dinosaur teeth have you seen there Troodon? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 You mostly see theropod teeth from the Hell Creek, Morisson, Judith River and Morocco all your standard species. Most dealers just bring high value teeth with the exception of Indiana9fossils and Natural Canvas who bring everything that is on their websites. You see very little from other countries with an occasional tooth from France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrokenTrowel Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Great pics... Just left Hotel Tucson and the Ramada a few extra bugs heavier.. off to 22nd St now.

Troodon Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Todays journey takes me back to the same three hotels. Lets start with the 22nd street show. The first item up for sale is a Jurassic dinosaur from the Morrison formation and the largest theropod of the period a Torvosaurus. So if you have some extra millions its a great place to hang out. Its the most complete specimen ever found at a 65% bone count. The rooted tooth shown below is the largest ever found from this species and found with the skull its measures 9 inches long.

Troodon Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 (edited) Lots of meteorite dealers attend the shows, some of the best in the world. Geoff Notkin of the TV series Meteorite Men has a room at the Tucson Hotel One dealer was selling this huge but beautiful 200kg specimen for only $50,000 Lots for everyone at the Shows Minerals everywhere, probably the biggest part of the shows.
