A claw from such an iconic dinosaur! 16 hours ago, Runner64 said: Looks wonderful in the floating frame! Thanks! It does look good in this white floating mount however eventually I think I am going to find someone or a website that makes custom stands. I did see a post a while back of someone who made them but will need to figure out who it was again. A claw deserves to be displayed proudly super cool! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimin013 Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 Eusauropoda indet Size: 56 mm - 2 1/4" According to the seller it's a Bothriospondylus madagascariensis tooth from the location Kamoro, Madagascar however not sure if this is accurate. Kamoro is within the Mahajanga Province though and there is the Kamoro river that runs through that Mahajanga basin. Also the seller states that the tooth belonged to the dinosaur's maxilla or predental - If anyone can explain in what position a tooth like this would be in a sauropod's mouth let me know thanks! Archaeodontosaurus descouensis Size: 30 mm - 1 1/4" According to the seller the location of the tooth is Kamoro, Madagascar however not sure if this is accurate. Some additional photos next to a scale Two Eusauropoda indet teeth next to each other - The rooted one next to my other one which has a huge crown (first photo). Who knows if the tooth with the big crown is a totally different species as it may well be would be cool. The second photo below is of my large sauropod teeth lined up together for comparison of their sizes against each other. All of my sauropod teeth lined up @Runner64 as requested! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Nice additions love sauropod material from Madagascar. Ive posted this many times but a revision in 2010 by Philip Mannion concluded that Bothriospondylus madagascariensis is a nomen dubium. Probably best identified as Eusauropoda indet. Of course there is still a question of locality which might change everything. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, this is the location provided by the seller however not sure how accurate. Edit: I spoke with them to double check, they suspect that it was a mistake from one of the sellers that works with them (not good at all really) and it's likely from Wyoming like their Apatosaurus (or more likely diplodocus tooth) that they had listed.

Jaimin013 Posted May 22, 2019 Author Share Posted May 22, 2019 Nanotyrannus tooth Hell Creek Formation, Montana Size: 2.36 inches / 60mm Obtained in my first ever trade - possibly one of the best Nanotyrannus teeth that I have ever seen and it is really large for a Nanotyrannus tooth. The photos don't do the tooth justice and you can only capture so much detail using a phone camera but here goes. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
