Love the Archaeotherium skull.

 

Have you seen any vendors selling Araucaria cones?

There is one dealer in the Tucson Hotel that sells cones but he was not open the last time I passed by.   I'll check the next time I'm there.

Excellent photos and information!  This thread is like reading a good book. Thank you!

Mkay so a few things. Did they have shark teeth? STOP foot pain. Prehistoric whales were metal.

Frank do not sleep next to one of those pods- I think the are from Invasion of the Fossil Snatchers.

Nimravis described them quite well in his post with some good advice  or  large suppositories

@Troodon Very nice comeback.

They are obviously dinosaur eggs.

 

All kidding aside they are just polished rocks.

There was a kiosk in the background that said stop foot pain I'm guessing some sorta remedy. Perfect fit for a fossil show.......

My treasures for the day amounted to three teeth from the Aguja Formation of Texas.   Two were Tyrannosaurid and a Nodosaurid.  The largest at 2 inches.  

 

 All in all a good day and I had the good opportunity to meet BadlandTraveller a newbie at the show.  A great experience for Brett and hopefully not his last visit.   We always like Canadians to spend their money in AZ

Those are beautiful tyrannosaurid teeth, congrats on the score! 

Curious, how many different kinds of tyrannosaurids do you think are in the Aguja?

Thanks,  if it follows the Judith River Fm we are looking at a Daspletosaurus and Gorgosaurus like Tyranno's but its a different fauna and who knows.  Have not see any real big teeth come out they are all around this size and they all look gracile.  Too early to say, more discoveries are needed to see real variations in teeth.

I always class my collection as treasures. Theses are beautiful great buy.  Also how special  is that Dimetrodon . I would love to get a tooth one day to go with my claw. 

 

Thanks again @Troodon

Thanks thought i would ask as if you remember was looking at the teeth trying to determine if differences in them indicate species or position. So just to clarify this one here

 

has no original teeth as the second to first in anterior position still looks like it has a lot of natural matrix surrounding it, and the furthest posterior one looks unerupted.

I checked back and the very first one on the right is unerupted, all the others are placed.
