Troodon Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Welcome to the forum Can we see some additional photos showing all the sides of your specimen. Do you know if this was found in the Cretaceous deposits associated with the Bissekty Formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 the thickness and flatness gives me the impression of an alectrosaur claw. I'm not an expert however, so dont take my word for it. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timurlengia euotica is the tyrannosaurid described in 2016 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 @Troodon I am unfamiliar timurlengia or the bissekty formation, I used erlian as my refrence which wasn't very smart of me. The timulengia claw from other pictures doesn't fit the bill for me, are there any ornithomimosaurs present? If not I'm out of ideas. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Without a locality we don't even know if this is from a cretaceous deposit. From that one photo it does not look dinosaurian why I asked for additional photos. Im not aware of any ornithomimosaurs but the region is poorly understood.

legoog Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 Thank u for answers! I add some photos more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Thank you for the photos. It's a bone not a tooth like you show in your tag. I do not think it's a claw but looks like a broken end of a process from a vertebra most likely dinosaurian if this is from a cretaceous location. You will not be able to identify it any further. They all take a different shape but here is an example of one. Very spoon shaped 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legoog Posted May 21, 2017 Author Share Posted May 21, 2017 Thank u for helping! Troodon it was wery informative suggestions, that is looks like a broken end of a process from a vertebra. I ask my friend for more photos of spicemens that he have in collection : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 More of those process ends A nice vertebra centrum but it's difficult to say who it belongs to without processes. Not sure what the lower right specimen is might be a vertebra with those views. Does not look dinosaurian. Does he have teeth in his collection 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXV24 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Hi, Is it possible the centrums are crocodilian? This might be wrong, but especially the lower right specimen appears similar to crocodilian centrums I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might be wrong, but especially the lower right specimen appears similar to crocodilian centrums I've seen. That's where I would definitely lean on the lower right but more photos needed. The other one might be but not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legoog Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 There some additional photo of different tooths (sharks left, spinosaurus, theoropooda, and foot claw not sure). Also some undefined skull parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Beautiful material thank you for posting. The teeth and claws are very nice. Your skull parts appear to be jaw sections from a Hadrosaurid. Levnesovia transoxiana is one that as been described from your region but other species may exist. http://rspb.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/276/1667/2549 Most of your claws, top three, are foot of an ornithomimid indet. with the lower one a hand claw possibly of a Timurlengia euotica Your large theropod teeth are Timurlengia euotica Spinosaurids are not known from this region and your teeth are to curved to be one. Need closer images but my initial guess is Plesiosaur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightySmith Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Hello. We had some doubts about these samples from the collection. Probably it's tyrannosaurus teeth, right? Could you help with the identification? Sorry if the question is stupid or naive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 There is never a stupid or naive question when it comes to identification of teeth. If your teeth come from the Bissekty Formation they are most likely Tyrannosaurid. Can you post an photo looking at the base. The teeth should be compressed (flatish) The only largeTheropod with this size teeth that is described from that region is the Tyrannosaurid Timurlengia euotica, others may exist but currently this is the only known one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
