Troodon Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 The person with the Stego material was selling around 5 individuals from the same quarry, unheard of to find more than 1. He has a nearby Sauropod quarry and shared this tooth from that dig. No its not a Camarasaurus tooth but something undescribed. The arrowhead shape is unknown from the Morisson and more typical of what you see in European sauropods like Zby atlanticus from Portugal or other Turiasaurian sauropods of Spain. Tried but tooth is NFS 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried but tooth is NFS Very interesting. I see the Turiasaurian like resemblance you mentioned. Would make sense if the Morison, Lourinhã, and Tendagura Beds share the same fauna. Makes me wonder why turiasaurian teeth appear common in Portugal but relatively unheard of in Morrison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The faunas are closely related but there are differences. I shared my knowledge about the European teeth with the person selling the Stegos and he was clueless about them and very happy to hear about it.

Birdman Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Wow....simply WOW! Thanks for sharing those pics. Appreciation has to be high. All the hard work, the labour and the dedication that has gone into finding, prepping and in some cases mounting these great finds to bring them to the public to gaze upon in such a high order of presentation, is so much appreciated. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heteromorph Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 The quality and quantity of fossils is simply amazing. Hope to be able to go someday myself, even without buying anything! Thanks for posting. Definitely cheeper than driving there myself. At at the last Dallas Paleo Society meeting on February 13 Roger Farish, longtime DPS member and former president of the Society, talked a bit about what he saw at Tucson this year. While he was at the show it was brought to his attention that there was a very nearly complete Ptychodus shark skeleton hanging on one of the walls, and I believe he said it was above a doorway(?). He said that the society is involved in helping with trying to get it into an appropriate institution. I may have missed something, but while looking through this thread I didn't see any pictures of it. Just wondering if anyone has some pictures of it to share. He didn’t say what species of Ptychodus it is, but maybe some pictures of the teeth could tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could have been there this year and I missed it. The "show" is actually many shows spread over the city of Tucson so its entirely possible to miss a venue and not even know it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Island positions unknown to us with any precision now between those landmasses in the late Jurassic might have made it possible for something as large as a sauropod to make the swim in segments (or something small to raft across on storm-torn vegetation). That would explain some rare, odd occurrences of land plants and animals in places that became increasingly separated since the break-up of Pangaea.
