Went digging for a couple days at a microsite up in the Lance Formation of Wyoming. Along with the usual many Triceratops and Edmontosaurus spitter teeth, I found a Nanotyrannus tooth, a perfectly rooted Leptoceratops gracilis tooth, a neat Nodosaur tooth (Denversaurus?), and a nice big Triceratops crown. 

 

The find I wanted to share is the Leptoceratops tooth. Before prep and then post prep:

I think this is one of the nicest T. rex teeth I've ever seen. This should be the tooth that is always shown when we start having those discussions about identifying a T. rex tooth versus Nanotyrannus. There is no mistaking what this is!

Been a while since I’ve posted. I’m rarely ever on here anymore. 
 

Nevertheless, I wanted to share a very recent reaquisition.


I found this juvenile Allosaurus fragilis hand claw in Summer of 2000. Third photo is of the claw after cleaning. Fourth picture is of my son and I right after digging it out.

 

Parted with it reluctantly due to a financial emergency several years ago, and was finally able to get it back into my collection on Election Day. It has obvious sentimental value for me because my son and I excavated it.

Very cool!! I see why you wanted that back! I hope to find a hand claw like that from Allosaurus! One of my favourite dinosaurs!

What a phenomenal fossil to have discovered yourself! I'm happy to learn you've been reunited with it.
