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! :)

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.

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! :)

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.

Thanks! That's correct, i've seen this determination used before so changed the ID and yes that's true! Locality may change everything

Allosaurus fragilis tooth

Morrison Formation, Wyoming, USA
Size of tooth: 80 mm - 3 1/8" (straight line)

Size of Matrix: Around 210-220 mm

 

I hope you like it. A rooted Allosaurus tooth from an iconic dinosaur. It's my first fully rooted large theropod tooth and I really love the way it looks! I have been very busy this week so may post some additional photos of it on the weekend.

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.

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.
