paulyb135 Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 Thanks to the help of @Troodon and Palaeontologist Christophe Hendrickx, the attached tooth has been diagnosed as most likely a Eotyrannus which is a species I have been after for a long while now. I also include the comments from Hendrickx himself having sent several images and measurements of the tooth over the weekend. Whilst not a 100% definitive answer the tooth leans more towards this species which is cool to say the least 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulyb135 Posted July 2, 2021 Author Share Posted July 2, 2021 My latest tooth is a replica of the Eotyrannus Lengi from the below link found in Compton Bay in 2016. Casts have never appealed to me, however this one is fantastic and the detail is spot on. It is from a tooth I have admired ever since I began collecting. https://www.islandecho.co.uk/largest-known-eotyrannus-tooth-discovered-isle-wight/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulyb135 Posted April 5, 2022 Author Share Posted April 5, 2022 Today I received these two large Carcharodontosaurus teeth. They are slowly becoming my favourite type of teeth with their razor sharp knife like serrations. Both teeth are from the Kem Kem formation, Morocco 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulyb135 Posted June 21, 2022 Author Share Posted June 21, 2022 My latest addition is this unique Suchomimus tooth from the Tenere Desert, Elhraz Formation, Niger It has split carinae on the mesial edge which I’ve never seen before. The beads on both edges are visible under a microscope which is a clear indication it is from this taxon. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulyb135 Posted October 18, 2022 Author Share Posted October 18, 2022 I have just received this beautiful Megalosaurus Bucklandii tooth. This tooth was found at the Taynton Limestone Formation in the Rollwright Quarry, Oxfordshire, UK It is smaller than my other one but is found close to where the holotype was found. A welcome addition to my collection. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And almost without matrix this time, I guess they leave the little limestone matrix around it, to prove that its a Megalosaurus ?

Also I think there is a risk to remove the teeth completely from the matrix so best to keep it situated in or on it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulyb135 Posted December 16, 2022 Author Share Posted December 16, 2022 My latest tooth is this probable Brachiosaurus Altithorax (Only described Titanosauriforme in the Morrison Formation so far) confirmed by palaeontologist Royo Torres (last image). The tooth was found in Carbon County, Wyoming, USA, Late Jurassic Period of 150 million years ago. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Hey pauly- Nice teeth. NOTE: I started writing this to pauly as a PM, but realized the public education aspect of it should be aimed at all purchasers of dino teeth. I have a comment, not aimed at you, but maybe your sellers. You say you have a tooth from Como Bluffs. (and now I see at least one more in your Riker mounts)... I am doubtful. Do you know if it is from the Bone Cabin Quarry? The BCQ is the only commercial dig near Como Bluffs. There are three anticlines in the area where Morrison Fm is well exposed. The southern one is the Como anticline. The land there is owned by three separate ranches. One guy doesn't allow anyone even to walk on his place. The second one allows the occasional educational tour. The third one, my museum has access to as does a group of volunteers from Colorado who have one quarry and they are not selling anything from their quarry. The second anticline going north (Flattop Anticline) has a very productive quarry called the Bone Cabin Quarry. Since it is not part of the Como Bluffs structure, it cannot be called Como Bluffs. This may seem picky and trivial, but it makes me wonder if the sellers are using Como Bluffs as a selling point slightly dishonestly. Close to Como, yes, but not quite. No one has collected commercially at Como proper for decades, probably going back to the 1920's. Warning to all... when buying Morrison Fm fossils, beware of anyone telling you they are from Como Bluffs. Best to ask what quarry they are from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpc Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Wow... what a visual. Did you put that together or find it online? Interesting that this map has the BCQ on the county line (in pale green). I wonder if that is what some folks are using to say Carbon County, or if anyone is actually selling fossils from Carbon County. (The quarry is actually in Albany County). Those other quarries in Carbon County are quarries form the Cope and Marsh days and are no longer active. The Tate Museum sites I am in charge of are in the yellow oval in Albany County.
