Word on the streets of Wyoming is he had asked 2 million for the horse and was now asking a single mil.  

 

It is a great mystery as to how these mammals (there are only a small handful) get out into the lake beds.  I think washing in from a local river is the best answer.  Another mystery... there are many more birds known form the Green River Fm, but most of them are NOT water birds.  Forest birds.  Why so many forest birds and so few water birds?  

I expect the horses swimming about in the lake and other birds crash-landing scared away the water birds. 

Or the water was nor healthy for the birds or the plants/animals that they could feed on?

Does the show have any seminars or demonstration of tools, prep techniques or anything else for educational purposes?

If i ever went to a shop like that i would end up spending so much! Are the prices high or low compared to the popular auction site?

Thanks and simple answer to your question none.   You just don't find jaws with original teeth and the few that are found the teeth are very badly damaged.  This dealer is very quick to tell you the right info.

Spoke with him and he indicated that's he's both them long enough and needs to sell them.   Good time to buy :D  I'm  with you on how it got there...why it just makes sense.   Interesting comment with the forest birds

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.

Correct all the jaws sold have no original teeth,  I did not ask him if the two teeth in that specific jaw were original.   All the rest are composited.

The three venues that I visited today, Tucson Hotel, Ramada and 22nd Street  were a flurry of activity getting ready for the grand opening on thursday.   

 

Visited a number of German and British Dealers today.

Having technical difficulties with the rest of my pictures.  They are on the disk, I can see them, but all I get when I try to transfer them is "there was a problem uploading the file"  oh well hopefully tomorrow will be better, enjoy what I posted.   Any ideas welcomed

 

Although I did buy a bunch of Kem Kem material I did have some good success at a British Dealer today.  Picked up this beautiful big Mantellisaurus tooth its an Iguanodon so it made my day :D

I found that uploading them in a smaller size allowed me to do it.

This is an ongoing problem since Saturday. A service request has been sent to the provider and we hope to get an answer soon.

Very nice pics today Sir.  I love that spiked Ammonite.  Congrats on the acquisitions.

Looking forward to the next round of pics. That 6 1/2 Meg tooth is awesome.

What Kem Kem stuff did you find?
