Jaimin013 Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 C.F. Spinostropheus gautieri (Ceratosauria) Tiouraren Formation Marraba, Agadez Region Niger Theropod indet. but the seller says this is the ID.. a nice tooth regardless of what it is! The tooth looks nicer when held in hand but the photos don't do this tooth justice. The colours in the photo vary because of lighting which is why I have taken a few photos in the daylight. The tooth has a light cream colour to it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimin013 Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 Tyrannosaurid indet. (Likely Daspletosaurus horneri or Gorgosaurus sp.) Two Medicine Formation Browning, Montana The seller says it's Albertosaurus however no Tyrannosaur has been described from that fauna. I acquired this tooth not long ago but today I have managed to finally re-attach the tip using PaleoBOND Penetrant Stabilizer and a bit of acetone to clean the old resin if present. It was so simple to do thanks to the guidance of individuals on this forum and I have decided to display this beautiful tooth in the display box shown below for the moment. I am still trying to decide which material I should place on the bottom of the container..I will need to be careful to make sure that it does not disturb the surface of the tooth. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do, but I doubt it’s as impressive as yours lol. that’s actually what I’ve been working on as of late. I want to have something presentable For you guys. Then display wise I’m trying to get my stuff together to post some collection pics sometime soon. It’s growing little by little... but I’m gonna keep you posted. I may just post some individual photos of specimens soon too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am actually in the process of planning out how I would like to present the specimens that I have. This weekend I grouped together teeth that I think fit together nicely and this is what I came up with. I want to display the Iguanodon Jaw section in the centre but it's still a work in progress. I also may buy a few floating mounts to display the big T-rex tooth and the Megalodon tooth perhaps. At the moment the majority of my teeth are sitting in Riker Mounts however in the future I want an area in my room and display them in a glass cabinet and possibly some lighting in the cabinet for ambience 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Iguanodon jaw would make an impressive center piece. Also grouping the teeth together is a nice way to save some space by displaying like this so I see where you’re going with it. Space wise I may run into issues eventually because I’m also a fan of the 3D floating frame displays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, yes as my collection grows I will also find that I need to change how I display specimens. I love those floating frames they are amazing because you can see both sides of the tooth whereas you can't in the Rikers. I just wished the plastic on the floating frames didn't gather as much dust as they do! Oh well. At some point, I may also print out cards or really small labels with information on type, location etc. that would be cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
