Tyrannosaurid Tooth

Sat, 16 May 2020 05:04:06 +0000

Probably my best find from that trip, this is so far the largest self found theropod tooth in my collection. It either belongs to Gorgosaurus or Daspletosaurus, though it is difficult to determine.

Tyrannosauridae indet. (Either Gorgosaurus, Daspletosaurus or another taxon).

Ornithomimid Claw

One of my favorite finds from my trip to Montana last summer, a foot claw from an ornithomimid. Probably not identifiable beyond the family level.

Crocodile Osteoderm

Here's the second piece of crocodilian osteoderm I found in Montana in the summer of 2017. It may also be from Leidyosuchus.

This osteoderm may belong to Leidyosuchus.

Tyrannosaurid Tooth Tip

Thu, 18 Apr 2019 04:10:51 +0000

Here we have the tooth tip from a Tyrannosaurid I found at a microsite in Northern MT. Teeth, especially fragmentary ones like these are nearly impossible to identify accurately as the differences between those of Gorgosaurus and Daspletosaurus (the two species of tyrannosaur from the JRF) are difficult to distinguish.

Leidyosuchus tooth

This little tooth likely comes from the alligatoroid Leidyosuchus. However I could be wrong and I'm basing that idea off of it being the only crocodilian other than deinosuchus described from the formation.

Micro Bones

I have no idea what these tiny bones belong to. They could be bird, mammal, small reptile or an amphibian. These were found at the same microsite as the Troodon tooth.

If you have any indication as to what these could be let me know.

Troodon (Stenonychosaurus?) Tooth

This Troodon tooth is one of my favorite fossils in my whole collection. I found this at a microsite in Northern MT in the summer of 2017.

Hadrosaur Tooth

Tue, 26 Feb 2019 04:45:22 +0000

This tooth comes from a hadrosaur of some variety (difficult to assert a genus over one tooth) and is the biggest herbivorous dinosaur tooth in my collection and among my best fossils altogether. It was found by my dad in northern Montana in 2017. It measures over an inch and half in length.

If you have any ideas as to what kind of hadrosaur this tooth belongs to feel free to let me know your thoughts.
