Raptor fossils from Hell Creek?

Recommended Posts

Hello all!

I recently saw this labelled as « raptor claw bones,claw and teeth »

They are from Hell Creek.

I highly doubt that all this is from a raptor and I think that it is maybe a composite.

I think the fat tooth is from Morocco. Don’t know about the other one...

Here are some pictures, please tell me more. The seller claims everything has been found together except the teeth.

Thank you! :)

I think you are right, still nice fossils, but I doubth they are from the Hell Creek Formation. None of the bones or the claw seems complete to me. The teeth are nice, but we would need beter pictures.

 

Nice.

They all look like they are from Morroco Kem Kem and not hell creek. And the slender tooth at the bottom right corner looks like a crocodile tooth.

Life started in the ocean. And so did my interest in fossils;).

I saw this too but I was hesitant. As you rightly said looks like a composite and doubt it is from hells creek too. They do look like nice specimens though but would need clearer photos to judge as the ones currently up for the two tooth are not good enough to label as originating from a raptor.

Have had some more time to look at this with the photos provided

1. Looks like the tip of indeterminate theropod claw...could be from the HC

2. Does not appear hollow looks like a crock bone.  

3. Looks like a carpal from a Theropod, very similar to those I find in HC, Anzu wyliei

4. Not a Raptor Tooth but indeterminate with photos provided

5. I think it's dinosaurian, too compressed to be a Croc.  

Better photos if each specimen would help the ID.

Oh ok thank you all.

Maybe the fat tooth is an Abelisaurid tooth?

Regards
