Mine would be a nice large fairly complete T. rex tooth. But (1) I don't have anywhere to find one and (2) to purchase one is way out of my price range! I did manage to get an okay Nanotyrannus off the auction site a few months back that was at my spending threshold. 3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- John I had a friend once, but the wheels fell off.

jpc Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Based on my experience, it is troodontids. But then my experience is going out and finding them. Alas, I am still looking for the Struthiomimus teeth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kmiecik Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I'm just guessing here, but I think the teeth that are the hardest to get are the ones from species that have not yet been discovered. What do you think? Mark. Fossil hunting is easy -- they don't run away when you shoot at them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracarys Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 @Troodon If I go to a country, such as Argentina, and buy a fossil from a shop, is it legal for me to bring it back? A Carnatosaurus perhaps from a fossil store? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt anyone can properly identify one other than theropod paleontologist. Again the same issue exist with having a good provenance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember just a few years ago at the Tucson show that material from Chile was plentiful from ++6" Meg teeth to bird skulls. Today just a few leftovers from the heydays of fossil collecting in Chile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Just an fyi, Chilean shark and some other material is still available online through several domestic dealers. So if you want any it's your safest bet. @Dracarys 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
