Jaimin013 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Curious as to what everyone thinks of the id of this tooth. seller calls it Dromaeosaurus but could be from a small rex. location is Powder River county, Montana I wish i could buy this tooth but the seller doesnt ship to the UK... It is a nice small tooth and sorry for the not very good quality pics but they are screenshots from my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Well its not a raptor tooth there is nothing about it that says Dromaeosaurus and they are not present in the Hell Creek. The seller does not call it Dromaeosaurus says at one time she would have called it one but wonders if its closer to a Trex. Very confusing but she is correct its closer to Trex its a Nanotyrannus tooth. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 It's a sweet tooth! I wonder whether the seller would work with a freight forwarder to get it to you, if you covered the costs? 1 "There has been an alarming increase in the number of things I know nothing about." - Ashleigh Ellwood Brilliant “Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.” - Thomas Henry Huxley >Paleontology is an evolving science. >May your wonders never cease!

I know the seller very well, they just dont want the hassle associated with international shipments. They are cattle ranchers. They have a very good domestic fossil business and have no incentive to reach across the pond. Not sure he can even bid on it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimin013 Posted August 6, 2018 Author Share Posted August 6, 2018 @Auspex @Troodon what I should do is have get to know someone from the US who is willing to pay the money to try to win it, then pay them so they can ship it to me in the UK. It's disappointing when sellers don't ship outside of the US but as you said the seller has no incentive. I don't think international shipments are a hassle just the seller needs to make the effort but I guess for some people it's a hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose they don’t want the problem of it maybe getting lost in the post. Possibly, it's just a shame as it is unlikely to get lost if you use a reputable courier company.. oh well.. you win some you lose some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
