abyssunder Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Maybe, it has something common with ichnofossils (trace fossils), but it's not a footprint, in my opinion. It could be also just mineralogical, but I think it's more than that. Hard to say for sure. 1 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

Special Places Palaeontology Permits and Guidelines It is against the law to excavate or collection fossils in Nova Scotia without a Heritage Research Permit. The permit system is in place to make sure that: Individuals excavating fossils are qualified to do the work; The excavation is well planned; Any recovered fossils are properly studied and cared for; A report about the work conducted is drafted and submitted to the provincial repository for future use by researchers, educators and the general public. Palaeontology permits are available in two categories: Field Research and Professional Research. To apply for a permit follow these steps: 1. Review the guidelines to understand which permit applies. 2. Complete, sign and date the Heritage Research Permit. 3. Submit your application to the Special Places Program.

El_Hueso Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Troodon answered in the other topic. He said " Thank you for the photos. Your top tooth is not complete its missing the bottom and difficult to say how much and the rounded tip does not help. There are a couple of different morphologies it could fit including an abelsaurid. A closer view of the serrations might help. Right now I would call it "Theropod indet." Your JRF tooth is a Tyrannosaurid." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
