Identification Though smaller than many imagine T. rex teeth to be, this is indisputably one. It is characteristically robust, and has chisel-shaped denticles with similar denticle densities on each carina.1 Those qualities support its identification as a Tyrannosaurid, and with the locality information confirming it originated from the Hell Creek formation, this must be T. rex. Comments Like most isolated theropod teeth, this is a shed tooth, likely lost during feeding.2 This specimen has exquisite preservation with the enamel texture sharply retained as in life. It however has minor weathering with possible feeding wear at the tip, light root etching, and the base of the tooth has been lightly smoothed possibly by tumbling in an ancient river (enamel is harder so it wouldn't have weathered as much as other portions of the tooth).

I was looking at some of my small theropod teeth, but I was not 100% sure what the best ID for these two teeth were. Any input or help would be appreciated. These were sold as Nanotyrannus, but very small chance of dromaeosaurid and Aguja dromaeosaurid respectively, but I think they might be Richardoestesia cf. gilmorei. The cross-section of the Hell Creek tooth I think rules out Dakotaraptor, or at the very least, does not match the known morphology. Edit: Oops, I used the really funky side of the ruler I'm using. I was going to use the millimeter side, but ending up using a side that measures 20mm per. The measurements are accurate though as I used calipers for that. Hell Creek Formation; Garfield County, Montana CBL: 6mm CBW: 2.4mm Mesial Density: 8-9/mm [Towards end of carinae] Distal Density: 11/2mm (5.5/mm) CH is a bit difficult since the tooth has heavy feeding wear, but it is 8.3mm tall, but could be significantly higher. The mesial carinae does not appear to extend to the base. Aguja Formation; Brewster County, Texas CH 6.4mm CBL 3.7mm CBW 1.4mm Mesial Density: Possibly worn down, or none Distal Density: 16/2mm (8/mm)

Hey all, Does this 3" specimen from the Hell Creek of Powder River co, MO look like a big node or like a section of dome?

Any idea what this little tooth could be from? It was found in the Hell Creek formation outside of Faith, South Dakota. It has no serrations and the seller says it may be a juvenile richardoestesia.

Hi, A pair of teeth I am interested in. The first one, 1.25 inches. Sold as a dromaeosaur tooth from Hell Creek. Is it actually a Nano? It seems quite big for a raptor from Hell Creek. If a raptor, it would be Dakotaraptor because of the size? Next one is a Tyrannosaur-- just over 1 inch. Is it Tyrannosaur or another large raptor tooth? I have sent seller a message about the exact location -- county and stuff.

Hi everyone, this is my first post on here. This specimen was labelled as a 'dinosaur jaw bone' and it was found in the Hell Creek Formation near Glendive, Montana. It is about 27 mm long. It does seem to me it belongs to a reptile of some sort but I haven't been able to find anything on the internet to identify it with any more specificity so I'd really appreciate your expertise in identifying it. Thanks everyone!

Hi, Am I correct that this toe bone from HCf "near Glendive" Montana is from a turtle? Thanks!!
-
From the album: Hell Creek / Lance Formations
A rooted Ceratopsid tooth - either Triceratops or Torosaurus (though it's more likely to be Triceratops since it was far more abundant in the HC ecosystem). -
Hi all, I think this toe bone from the Hell Creek in South Dakota has to either be a digit 2 phalanx 2 from a dromaeosaurid or it's probably not even dinosaurian. Please give me your thoughts. Thanks!!

These two fossils are toe fossils from the Hell Creek Formation. Do you know which dinosaur it is?
-
Can someone ID this tooth ? Is it worth buying?
-
I am assuming this is a ceratopsian skull bone, but I am stumped! Can someone help me with the ID? Ceratopsian anatomy isn't my specialty. Excavated from mudstone in the Hell Creek Fm. Slope Co. North Dakota Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

This is a fossil seed I got from the Hell Creek Formation (Montana) last year. Would you say this is a species of Marmarthia or some other plant?

Hello! I’ve had this tooth for a while now and always labeled it as nannotyrannus, since that’s what I bought it as. It’s about .8” long, supposed to be from the Hell Creek formation but no other locality was listed, so I understand an ID might not be 100%. I was just wondering broadly if it was a tryannosaur or dromeosaur tooth. At first I thought tyrannosaur because it’s kind of thick for its size and has large serrations. It also looks like it has “pinching” on only the right side in the base picture which made me think it was a nanno tooth specifically. Then I saw a picture posted on the forum of a similar sized tooth with the same profile listed as dromeosaur. Any help would be appreciated thanks!

Hello everyone, I'd like to submit this vertebra to you to understand if it really belongs to packycephalosaurus and possibly if in your opinion how much it has been reworked. Indications on the label: Dimensions: 125mm Origin: Hell Creek Formation, South Dakota, USA CRETACEOUS-Upper Cretaceous, Maastrichtian (66.0-72.1 million years) Thank you very much

Unique find! Partial Triceratops Skull! Thoughts Welcome!
DitraFossil posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Good morning fellow fossil hunters. I have the opportunity to purchase a partial triceratops skull. Below please find the photos. It allegedly has 15-20% restoration and is from Hell Creek. Here are the dimensions: from the top to the back of frill it is 39 inches, and the horns are 23 inches measuring from the inside. It’s 21 inches across and weighs about 100 pounds. It was found by a friend of a friend. Questions: how does it look to you? Is it a juvenile, as the size seems somewhat small to me, but perhaps that is because it is only a partial skull? It is quite expensive so, I wanted to get the thoughts of the forum first!

This piece was found in wyoming and was prepped in the field, described as a section of triceratops frill, is that accurate?
