David in Japan Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 It is small and not really in excellent shape but it is still a great find considering the location which is not really common when you speak about Dino fossils. Here is the Ankylosauridae tooth I found this month. I am not expecting to win the contest but I didn't know where to show my find without creating an entire post just for 2 pictures. Ankylosauridae tooth Kumamoto, Japan Late cretaceous, Turonian The tooth has been donated to the Mifune Dinosaur Museum. ~~~~~~~~~~~~〇~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warmest greetings from Kumamoto、 Japan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeargleSchmeargl Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Lots of stuff. So many choices... Every single fossil you see is a miracle set in stone, and should be treated as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miocene_Mason Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 @David in Japan WOW! The Ankylo tooth is super cool! Wonder why you don’t hear much about Japanese fossil sites over here; they seem to be splendid! ———————————/——————— I’m trying to get in the habit of posting a fossil here every month. Today we have: Date: February 7th, 2018 Location: Brownies Beach, Calvert Co., Maryland, USA Age: Calvert formation; early to mid miocene Name: Broadnose sevengill shark (Notorynchus cepedianus) AKA cow shark size: one inch long about “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David in Japan Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Thank you whodaman. Your tooth is very nice too! Concerning japanese dino material, there are few reason why you do not here a lot about it. The first one is that dino are really recent here. The first dino found in japan is nipponsaurus in 1934. The beast was found in the sakkhalin when it was still part of japanese territory. However at the time, it was firmly believed amongst japanese paleontologist that no dino ever lived on japanese main island. They had to wait until 1979 that a 6 years old boy found a theropod tooth in mifune (kumamoto prefecture where i live) to realize there is a big potential there. Now there is dino from hokkaido, fukui (fukuiraptor, fukuititan, fukuivenator, fukuisaurus, koshisaurus), kumamoto etc. The other reason is that dino material is very fragmentary. Except, nipponsaurus and mukawaryu it is really difficult to find associated bones. Lot of fragments and alone bones. So for exemples, here in mifune i can tell you that we have tyrannosaurid material, hadrosauridae material, ankylosauridae material, dromaesauridae, ornithomimosauridae and therizinosaurus material but too fragmentary to accurately identify them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~〇~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warmest greetings from Kumamoto、 Japan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of a site in China, Erlian (Erinhot).
