Hi, I found this Fossil on a picnic bench around Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta Canada. All 3 pieces fit together perfect, I’ve had these for a while. I can’t get any more precise than images and rough location. Hope someone can help and thanks for everyone’s time!

found this tooth near Huxley, Alberta, just north of Dry Island Buffalo Jump park. I was fairly high in the canyon, I would say within 1/3 or 1/4 of prairie level, which is why im not 100% sure if I was lower Scollard or upper Horseshoe Canyon formation, and hence whether it's a rex or albert tooth. CH: 5.2cm, CBL: 2.4, CBW: 1.9, AL:5.5, Mesial denticles: 9/5mm, Distal denticles: 8/5mm. IMG_3311.heic IMG_3310.heic IMG_3309.heic IMG_3308.heic

Petrified Wood Log with fossilized sap, and a superb Agatized Petrified wood slab. :)
FossilFiend-Alta posted a topic in Member Collections
Hello all, hope the fossil hunting is going great, just wanted to dump some photos of recent finds i've come across on a trip i made the my favorite spot. Some absolutely beautiful peices of petrified wood one Agatized i believe! the other has sap thats fossilized, at first i wasnt sure it was sap and thought it could be a mineral until i stuck a hot pin in the stuff and the area in my house smelled of a sort of pine smell and the pin was entering the sap, and without any relative pressure either, was mindblown. i also come across a entire petrified branch thats still in form. stay tuned for that, will post later today!!!

Parasaurolophus Walkeri posted a topic in A Trip to the Museum
The best museum I’ve ever been to. Yes I uploaded the max file size, bcos there is too much cool stuff to show u guys. the coolest thing I saw there is the Borealopelta, which is beautifully preserved.

Hello, I'm hoping for some ID's on my recent finds of the last few weeks. These were all found in Horseshoe Canyon Formation exposures in central Alberta. Teeth, vert and a possible hadrosaur metatarsal? I believe the top to be a weathered theropod tooth bit, but wasn't sure about the other two, or if the long one is even a tooth. Dromaeosaur tooth? A few vert. 1. 2. 3. 4. End of a hadrosaur metatarsal?

Hello, I'm wondering if this large bit I found is part of a tooth? My initial assumption when I found it was that it was, but it's so big I'm having second thoughts. I spotted it due to the shiny coating, much like other albertosaurus teeth I have found in this formation. I've included an Albertosaurus tooth found a few meters away for comparison. Unfortunately the top and bottom are damaged and I couldn't identify any serrations. This was found in Horseshoe Canyon Formation exposure in central Alberta. Generally I find Albertosaurus teeth in this area. I know Tyrannosaurus Rex teeth have been located in the Scollard Formation, but I don't believe there are any exposures where I was hunting. Thanks folks!

I found this bone in some badlands in the North of Edmonton. It is two inches long, and a inch and a half wide. Could anyone tell me what creature this bone came from? It could be Edmontosaurus I'm not sure. I read that Dinosaur bones were found in the area.

Why dont users share fossil hunting locations on public forums?
Prowlbeast posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Hi all! I'm not sure if this is an actual rule or an unspoken rule, but why don't people want to share fossil hunting locations in forum replies? I am from Alberta, and there aren't many threads on where to hunt here, I know there are prime locations around the area, but I was hoping to find tips on good specific locations. Unfortunately I had a lot of trouble finding much of anything when I didn't have an account, because people said that people don't share locations in public replies. Why is that? If the location is legal, wouldn't it be ok? I'm not sure if it was the specific forums I saw or not, I'm new. Just wondering why people prefer to DM locations. I can only think of vandalism, but I cant see how badly one would want to vandalize dirt and rocks that are in the middle of nowhere, lol. Hope this is okay to ask here, cheers! -
The dinosaur park formation has been very nice to us so far! All the stuff found in situ was left alone, since we are in Alberta. No digging allowed here, but there is tons to find in the surface!

Hey, some time ago i found a washed up bone fragment sitting at the bottom of the Horsethief Canyon. Since it's complete and has an interesting shape, I'm wondering if it's possible to ID. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone! We found this piece in the dinosaur park formation of Alberta. We think it is the top of a vertebrae, since there seems to be a neural canal preserved. The rest of the vertebrae is gone though, so we are having trouble identifying whose vertebrae it is. Maybe crocodile? Maybe dinosaur? Any input will be super helpful!

Found this in the sand at Milk River, Alberta. Definitely a dinosaur fossil hotspot but not sure if these are dinosaur or much more recent. Anyone have an idea of what this might be from?

Alberta Fossil From Old Collection but No Disposition Number
svcgoat posted a topic in Questions & Answers
I have a specimen in my collection that was collected legally by the original owner prior to the 1970s However it appears the original owner never got a disposition number. -
Hi everyone! We recently went on our first trip to the Dinosaur Park formation in Alberta. These are some of the fossils we found and need help identifying. There are 6 fossils we need help identifying, so instead of making 6 different posts I thought I would just make one long one! Here is the first fossil: We think it’s part of a turtle, but it is different from the other pieces we found that day. One side of the fossil has a lot of bumps and the other has a small ridge. Any ideas?

Found this jaw piece with teeth in it. Found in southern Alberta from the Dinosaur Park formation. Looking at the end view you can see the teeth that were coming in next. Looking for an ID on the dinosaur this came from. I think hadrosaur but not fully confident in my ID.

My daughter found this in fort mcmurray Alberta and I need help to figure out what it is, any idea what it could be?

Hi everyone! We had a successful first trip out to the Alberta badlands this year. We usually go to the Horseshoe Canyon formation, so this trip was our first time in the Dinosaur Park formation! The best find of the day is this tiny jaw my son found. It still has one tooth in it and the roots are still visible! We have a few ideas on what it could be, but we are not sure. Any ideas on what it could be from? Sorry if the picture quality is bad, the fossil is quite small. I will try and get better pictures of it and upload them as well.

Hi everyone! This is another find from our trip that we need help identifying. It was found in the Dinosaur Park fm, in Alberta Canada. It is a pretty well preserved bone (at least better than what we usually find in the Horseshoe canyon fm), and has almost and hourglass sort of shape. It is thin, and there is an even thinner protrusion on one side of the bone, and it has foramen right under it. I’m not sure if this is from a turtle, champsosaur, or Dinosaur, all I know is that it is bone! Any ideas on what it is?
