Troodon Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Troodontids certainly are one of my favorite dinosaur families. Intelligent and what a set of chompers to eat you with, all you can ask for in a cool dinosaur. Will start this with the Pectinodon teeth in my collection and will continue to add as I take photos. This species has some of the coolest teeth. Pectinodon bakkeri is the only named Troodontid in the Hell Creek and Lance Formations. This is a tooth taxon and its teeth are significantly much smaller than its big cousin Troodon formosus. Lance Formation Hell Creek Formation A couple of the teeth in matrix are partially rooted which is extremely rare since the teeth are so small Hell Creek Formation - Powder River County Hell Creek Formation 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted February 14, 2018 Author Share Posted February 14, 2018 Judith River Formation Cranial Troodontid material from North America is exceptionally rare with only a few isolated fragments found. Here is a Maxilla with teeth that has been made available to the ROM to be studied. ROM X-ray Following are not associated with the maxilla Cool wear facet Two Medicine Formation 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpc Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I love these little teeth. I only have a few in my piles of Lance micros. Not common. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Wait a minute; @Troodon liked troodontids!?! Very fine specimens! 1 “...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...
Fruitbat Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Those ARE some serious chompers...regardless of the size of the beastie! I've got steak knives that aren't that impressively serrated! I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of your troodontids! -Joe Illigitimati non carborundum Fruitbat's PDF Library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimin013 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Hi @Troodon so I just missed out on this tooth today because I was outbid by someone who paid a lot but I was wondering if you could let me know what you think the tooth is? It's annoying I missed out on it as I haven't seen a rooted one available for sale before. According to the seller it had more root but it was lost in the field..anyway life goes on.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted March 16, 2019 Author Share Posted March 16, 2019 It's a super Troodon tooth. You just do not see them with any root and this one is as good as they get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
