Troodon Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 22 minutes ago, jpc said: 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 Those other quarries in Carbon County are quarries form the Cope and Marsh days and are no longer active.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.

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. hi JPC Thanks for this information. this is good to know. Unfortunately the 3 associated Allosaurus teeth and Ceratosaurus tooth don’t have any further information than what is on my labels. I do have other teeth from Bone Cabin Quarry so I would hazard a guess this would be where these teeth come from. if I get offered any further Como Buff Morrison teeth in the future I’ll be sure to query it.

Pliosaur Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 @paulyb135 Amazing teeth and collection! Where do you source some of the rarer material, particularly the Alioramus tooth, it’s super nice and I rarely see those for sale on the market! Link to post Share on other sites

Good question I would imagine juvenile Tarbosaurus teeth are thicker than alioramus teeth in the same instance as rex and nano from the hell creek. I’ll let one of the experts confirm though Link to post Share on other sites

I’ll let one of the experts confirm though We actually know specifically for Tarbosaurus that juvenile teeth were ziphodont (Tsuihiji et al. (2011)). Ziphodonty is a common feature in adolescent Tyrannosaurids (e.g. Gorgosaurus, Voris et al. (2022)), putting aside the nano/rex debate. Link to post Share on other sites
Abstraktum Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Wow, didnt check on your collection for quite some time. You got some nice teeth the last year.

Mochaccino Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 (edited) Amazing collection of valuable teeth (I assume anyways; I don't know too much about dino material)! Honestly, I am blown away by the sheer frequency at which you seem to be acquiring these presumably expensive fossils. You must have a lot of money.

North Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 I just found this and I have to say you have amazing collection. Only having 3 theropod teeth, Im very impressed. Did I understood correctly that you have theropod tooth from Uzbekistan? Do you know the formation? Link to post Share on other sites
paulyb135 Posted May 27 Author Share Posted May 27 Thank you Yes the last tooth I posted is from Uzbekistan Link to post Share on other sites

I got immediatly interested when I realised its the place with Timurlengia and Ulughbegsaurus. So much than I did not even notice you allready mentioned the formation. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
