Recommended Posts

Saw these listed yesterday and the tooth was identified as a T-rex 1.55" long and Vertebra being from a Hadrosaur.  Like to have confirmation on those ID's thanks

Where was they found?  Location is always key to and ID.:) Hell Creek is a large place.

It's in the Label but also from Powder River County.

Take the easier one first the Vert, its Ceratopsian.  Hadrosaur or in this case Edmontosaurus caudal vertebrae

are very easy to distinguish from Ceratopsian.  The centrum is box or rectangular shape while ceratopsian are oval see pictures.

The tooth is more problematic.  Nothing jumps out that says Trex although I do not have a good view of the base.  Would tentatively lean toward Nanotyrannus but would like to hold it but could be a Maxillary Rex.

Thank you.  That tooth will most likely be priced as Trex oh well. 

Drop them a line and see what they say. You never know.
