njcreekhunter Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Here's my Two Medicine formation collection from Montana. It's all Daspletosaurus besides one Saurornitholestes tooth. I'm hoping to get specimens of some of the Two Medicine herbivores in the future. Pics 2 and 3= Daspletosaurus tooth in matrix Pics 4 and 5= Daspletosaurus partial tibia Pics 6 and 7= Daspletosaurus toe bone partial Pics 8 and 9= Daspletosaurus vertebrae process Pics 10 and 11=Saurornitholestes tooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 More good adds to your collection but let me say that there is no way to determine what you have belongs to Daspletosaurus. Gorgosaurus is another Tyrannosaurid present in the Two Medicine and that tooth may belong to that dino. The large tibia does not appear hollow, if it's not it's from a herbivore. Unfortunately the same can be said for the other bones so unless they were found with the sketal remains of a Daspletosaurus there is nothing diagnostic to identify them to one. The size does indicate it's a Tyrannosaurid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Andy- Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 It's always a delight to see more Two Medicine Formation fossils. Nice tyrannosaurs you have here. Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday!

njcreekhunter Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 @Troodon Yeah I've heard about that so I had my questions. I spoke with the seller quite a bit and he said that the bones and the tooth were found in a daspletosaurus grave yard. I asked the seller about the bone not appearing hollow and he said that it is hollow but the interior was replaced with iron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
