Found today what looks like a fossil in a large rock up in rochdale at the lake. The rock has been uncovered by the drought. It's a large print bigger than a mans hand and looks to have three toes with claws. Further over to the edge if the rock is another print with claw.

I obtained this tooth on a dig back in early June close to Jordan, Montana and was immediately told it was definitely a raptor tooth and was content with that. But more recently I’ve gotten curious and done some reading to try to figure out what exactly it was. From what I’ve read and seen online, it is pretty much a token Acheroraptor tooth with the very apparent ridges and larger serrations on one side while the other has small or none, but I wanted to double check with someone more familiar with the teeth to make sure. I’ll post any pictures requested, thanks! (also, please don’t tell me this tooth is fake or super restored because it is 100% not. I discovered and prepared this tooth myself and the only damage its had is a break that was glued back together near the root. It feels like this should be common sense after saying I found this myself in the post already, but I've already had people tell me I'm posting fake fossils [and arrowheads, but thats a different story])

Small theropod claw?
BirdsAreDinosaurs posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi all. This little claw (1.6 cm) from the Kem Kem beds is claimed to be a theropod claw. Is that correct? Is it possible to id it to family level? Out of curiosity, I was also wondering if it is possible to tell apart avian and non-avian theropod claws. If so, how can you tell? Thanks!

Hi all, saw this listing for a tooth, it’s from Meade County, South Dakota and looks to me like either a Nanotyrannus or Tyrannosaurus rex tooth. Want your opinions, I personally am leaning towards Nanotyrannus due to the pinch however it seems to be pretty robust. Thanks in advance measures about 1 cm

Hello, I was looking at dinosaur teeth listings and this one caught my interest, it looks kinda like a dromeosaurid but also looks kinda like a carcharodontosaurus tooth. It’s from kem kem, Morocco and measures 0.46 inch. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what it is, thanks

I found this in the creek in our backyard as well as many many many old shark teeth and arrowheads and some other bone like structures. But could anyone help direct me into where I could find out more info about this specimen? Thanks, Meagan I'm new to this so thank you again for the help!! And it's extremely heavy.

Please advise on possible identification, thank you so much. My wife and I are dying to figure out if it is what we think it is.

Triceratops Vertebra Pedicle
Lucid_Bot posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi! I bought this piece a few months ago and just wanted to make sure it is what they tell me it is. Apparently it's a Triceratops horridus vertebra pedicle from the Hell Creek Formation of Dawson County, Montana.

Hi, I saw this listing for a supposed real dinosaur egg, and wasn’t sure if it’s real or what species it may be from. It looks real to me but I’m not sure it’s a dinosaur egg. Unfortunately the seller doesn’t have a locality as they said it was passed down to them. Anyways i would appreciate any help with detecting whether it’s real or identifying what it’s from if it is real. Thanks in advance

Hello. This was collected in Texas along with some fossilized bones. The person who found it thinks it might be hadrosaur skin. It sort of looks like it but I would like to know for sure. Thank you.

Made a second trip to North Carolina's Black Creek group last week, and was definitely rewarded! Lots of interesting finds, the best of which are shown below: Deinosuchus rugosus (D. schwimmeri) teeth, osteoderms, skull fragments, and one MASSIVE coprolite. Also, the bottom right bone is either mosasaur or crocodillian/alligatoroid, I believe either from the hand or leg, hip maybe, but not sure on the exact ID.. Dinosaur teeth! One's definitely hadrosaur, the other I have as the broken-off, enamel-less tip of an indeterminate therapod crown..you be the judge on whether that one's a tooth lol. I think it is, the break has the exact shape of a broken-off Carcharodontosaurus spp. crown tip I have.

i,m joe, a retired welder, i built myself a small workshop in my garden, and as a hobby, i now make replica " dinosaur" skeletons from steel and stainless steel !i thought you might appreciate how much time/ effort goes into making them !,firstly all parts are " hand cut and shaped" on my anvil mostly, going off pictures of the real thing i then try to work out how many bones etc are say in the ribcage and so on, all joints are fully welded/ de burred and polished, and are then sprayed with a protective metal laquer ," the t.rex" i made was heated to a point where the carbon molecules in the steel "exite" turning the steel into the colours you see!, again then sprayed with a protective laquer, i do have more pics of other stuff which i will show later.

It’s from lance creek formation 3rd one I’m not very sure it’s correct but listed as a Spinosaurus toe bone, measures 1.4 Inches Long, 1 Inch Wide, 0.9 Inches Thick. from ozed, zem Morocco. last one seems to be a small worn Hadrosaurus jaw. It’s from Hell Creek Formation Garfield County, Montana and size is on image. thanks in advance

I saw this listing for a tooth that has no serration but looks like it’s from a Tyrannosaurus rex or Nanotyrannus. Im leaning towards Nanotyrannus since it doesn’t seem robust, and the base is kinda like a rectangle. but it doesn’t appear to have the pinch and is quite long. It’s from powder river county, hell creek formation. I wanted to see other opinions.

Below are 3 "teeth" I found yesterday in North Carolina's Black Creek Group, and I am no expert in identifying dino teeth. The first one is obviously hadrosaur, but not sure if more can be known about it. The second one, it's general shape looks like a "tooth", but honestly I'm not sure whether it is or isn't. It looks somewhat similar to pachycephalosaurid teeth I looked up online, but such teeth are rare and not known from Appalachia, so I'm doubtful. The last "tooth" looks to be therapod, but there's no enamel. The base where it's broken off looks similar to the breaks I've seen in some other therapod teeth in nicer condition, but as I said I am no expert in dino tooth morphology. Could well be a rock, but if so it's an odd-looking rock. All 3 teeth with scale: Tooth #1: Tooth #2: Tooth #3

I found a fossil which is definitely an egg. Google gave closest match as Hardosaur. Befoře as I was identifying dinosaur skull stones, I didn't end up with Hardosaur. The best match seemed to be something like Koreasaurus (clear beak-tooth, with with stronger forehead, as also the coprolites seemed to be from vegetarians). Most skulls are deformed, but rather easy to ID as head, alrhough 1 skull came out from a cracked sandstone and is pretty clear (unfortunately from toot to eyes area, not full head). Basically I've seen those like 10000x already as this land is all about fossils - we even have an oil mountain - oil comes out from land without pumping. It's from South coast of Timor Island, 500km from Australia. I'd like to know whose egg is this. Note1: my friend recently found a heel-bone which seem to be also from 5x10m spieces. Bone fossil is like 25x14cm and about 20kg, well preserved. Note2: I also have full-body small dino coprolite (yellow brown very hard stone) at my frontyard. About 80x50cm. With head shape with clear eyes and nose area skin texture and 1 part seems like a claw. Smallest skulls (probably unborn) are about 5cm only. Most common are about 30cm, but also I've seen some bigger than 1m ones that also reminded me skull. Probably 2 spieces. Thanks in advance! Silver

Hello! My name is Jeremy, I am a 30 year old veterinarian from Chicago. I will be moving to southwest Florida at the end of next month. I have been a long time lurker on the forum, just reading and learning as much as possible from all of the wonderful posts on this forum. I am a rather new collector of mostly dinosaur fossils, obtaining mostly teeth whenever I come across them. I have always had an obsession with dinosaurs, which has pushed me into my career. I am in the process of becoming a reptile specialist, and the big motivator for that were dinosaurs. I look forward to nervously joining more of the discussions on the forum since I found the courage to make my introduction post! All the best, Jeremy
