FrostbyteFossils Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Okay, so i recently ordered and received this "tooth" from a 100% trusted seller. It was sold to me as a chirostenotes tooth but that doesn't add up cause i thought they were jawless. There was a jaw specimen found but later redescribed as Richardoestesia. Maybe its another type of small oviraptor? Does anyone know what this is? (The tooth is only 3mm long so it was really hard to take a picture of it and only 4mb allowed to upload pics so just ask and i'll reply with more).

Nimravis Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Cannot see from the picture- better pics are required. @Troodon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Like Nimravis said we need better pictures. Shoot straight in not at an angle, more light and both sides. Also locality of where it was found including formation would help with an ID. Oviraptors do have jaws but are toothless and that includes Chirostenotes. Your seller may be trusted but appears to know very little about dinosaurs. Being new to forum let me ask you not to trust what any seller identifies their dinosaur material as because to often it's not accurate. Post here before you buy to confirm an ID 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I've lost small teeth it's a bummer they tend to bounce with hitting the floor. Well if you do find it please take those pictures. Good luck in your hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrostbyteFossils Posted December 16, 2017 Author Share Posted December 16, 2017 Yeah. Sorry again. Also, I just realised i said i knew that chirostenotes were jawless. Lol i meant to say toothless. Im tired. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 If I had just paid a load of money on a tiny dino tooth and my friend dropped it, i would have him or her on hands and knees licking the carpet until the tooth is recovered. Goodness. 3 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to waste your time. I feel really bad. If you dropped it in doors put a new bag in your vacuum and give your room a good clean and then go fossil hunting in the vacuum bag. It has worked for me you never know your luck. I hate to think it has gone for good.. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izak_ Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I agree with Tidgy's Dad. I hope you find that tooth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taogan Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Put a stocking over the end of the hose of the vacuum cleaner and then go round where you dropped it. It is easier than searching through a bag you just have a small area to search. Wives don't mind sacrificing small things for collections, ask any of my exes 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike from North Queensland Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 If its not carpet a soft broom will cover a large area then search through what you sweep up as the little sucker could have travelled a couple of metres.
