I recently found on the site cults3d a very beautiful and almost complete skeleton of Microraptor gui to print with a 3D resin printer. Here is the link: https://cults3d.com/fr/mod%C3%A8le-3d/art/microraptor-gui-skeleton The only problem was the skull was missing. The creator of this specimen, Florent Germain, had not had time to finalize his skull. He'll put it later, when finished, he said. I was able to print this model and I decided to make the skull myself Lucky me, I was able to use a dental scanner (not too suitable for this kind of models) and to generate a 3d printable file . The STL file of the skull is available for free. I am not a pro of 3D modeling software so be indulgent with the result. This file can be modified or improved for the person who can. Here the link : https://cults3d.com/fr/modèle-3d/divers/microraptor-gui-dinosaur-skull-open-source I haven't tried to print it on a printer, but it should work. Enjoy ! Some photos of the skull and skeleton, I'll update this topic when everything will be finished.

I found this specimen in Pahrump, Nevada. I'm a rockhound and just now getting into fossils. It caught my eye because the nodes on the outside resembled Coral. The thickness is about 3/4 of an inch and looks sedimentary. Sideways it appears like it was once oval or round. It's 3 3/4 of an inch long. Any help would be appreciated and thank you! New to the forum nice to meet you!

Sell says this is either a scute or partial club of Ankylosaurus. It's from the Hell Creek Formation in South Dakota. Seller says it was found with other scutes. Any way to ID this?

Hi again! Once again, my son was looking through the things we found last summer and found this piece. I think it is a piece of Dino bone with predation marks, but we also think it might be a piece of hadrosaur jaw. There is quite a lot of ironstone on the fossil though, so it could just be the ironstone playing tricks on us. If needed, I can post more photos to help with the id. The bone was found in the Horseshoe Canyon formation, in the Drumheller area, Alberta. Any input is greatly appreciated!

Hi all, A friend in North Carolina has this (among many other) box of bones from Morocco that need some sort of ID or general push in the right direction. I haven't been staring at bones long enough to make sense of these, but the tray they're sitting in is 15 inches long. My own personal uneducated guess is that I see some metacarpals and other small hand bones, a metatarsal or two, etc. , but I welcome outside opinion. I have my eye on the one top right, first in the group of 3 so I'm especially curious about that one. Mahalo!

Found this super, super small claw today. Just over half an inch in length. Looks kind of ornithomimid but I’m not sure. Anyone have a better guess? dinosaur park fm

From the album: Triassic
From the "dawn" of the Dinosaurs, this small tooth represents an early theropod. Unlike the other serrated archosauriform teeth present in the formation, this tooth is ziphodont - thin and labio-lingually compressed - the archetypical tooth form that most theropods adhered to since their beginnings.-

Shown below are 3 different types of dinosaur eggshell, all said to be from the Gaugou Formation in China. The bottom left eggshell is labelled as coming from Dendroolithus, and I am confident in this identification. The other two types are supposed to come from Tarbosaurus bataar (top left) and Oviraptor philoceratops (right) however, and neither of these species are known from the Gaugou Formation, so the question is what they are actually from. Thanks in advance for any suggestions Othniel

Howdy everyone! I was hoping y'all could help identify or at least give a broad idea of what kind of animal this beautiful little claw could have belong to. The claw was found in Harding County, South Dakota (Hell Creek formation) and is said to likely come from a large lizard or amphibian. Any thoughts? As always, thank you guys so much! This forum is truly invaluable.

From the album: Hell Creek / Lance Formations
This rare theropod tooth was found via screen washing matrix from a channel deposit. It's large for the species and from the front of the jaw. All of the denticles are intact - a spectacular specimen. Pectinodon (meaning "comb-tooth") is a tooth taxon, since no remains attributable to the genus beyond teeth have been found. Pectinodon seems to be a rare member of the Hell Creek fauna, with their teeth being fairly uncommon (though being so small, I'd guess that few people actively search for them). It was a small Troodontid theropod, with teeth that couldn't handle stresses as well as their Dromaeosaurid and Tyrannosaurid cousins (Torices et al. (2018)). This coupled with their small size suggest that Pectinodon was a small/soft prey specialist, preferring the rodent-sized mammals of the time, lizards, insects, etc. Some researchers have proposed omnivory as a possibility for Troodontids (cf. Holtz et al. (1998)). Troodontids famously are regarded as among the most intelligent dinosaurs for their large brain size / body size ratio. This notion serves as fodder for speculation that had the dinosaurs not gone extinct, Troodontids (Pectinodon being (one of?) the last) would have continued to grow in intelligence and develop sentience and civilizations. Troodontid teeth like Pectinodon can be easily identified by their small size, exaggerated, triangular, apically oriented posterior serrations.- 1 comment

Hello, Can you help me with ID of this tooth? I am not sure whether it could be Carcharodontosaurid or something else? I bought it at a fossil show, Its supposed to be from Morocco, Kem kem group, Taouz. Scale is in cm. Measurements: CH - 2,8cm, CBL - 1,6cm, AL - 3cm and CBW - 0,8cm. Thanks in advance.

My brain’s pattern recognition tells me this looks skull-ey but I’m sure that’s wishful thinking. Them cavities in it go deep but are eventually plugged by ironstone. Probably an unidentifiable chunkosaur but if anyone has any ideas I’d appreciate it. Dinosaur park fm

Grallator Footprint France
Lucid_Bot posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi, again please let me know if this is not a genuine Grallator footprint. It's from Languedoc Rousslion France and Lower Jurassic. Again thanks to all for the help. I won't be buying impulsively again.

Hi. My Father Found this bone back in the 60`s in Buckinghamshire UK. Have been facinated ever since my father told me it was a dinosaur foot was I was a small child. Would love to know what fossil it is.

This is a tooth that lets me doubt the label… It was sold as “Albertosaurus”. Provenance is Hell Creek Formation, Montana. But to my understanding there is no Albertosaurus in the HCF of Montana or am I wrong? The serration count is 3 per mm and 2.5 per mm. Has someone got an idea what it might be?

Hello together, Munich Show is over and I’ve made some purchases I would like to have your expertise on… This tooth was labeled as “sauropod” from the Tiouraren Ffm, Agadez, Niger. As far as I was able to figure out the only sauropod found there was Jobaria, or am I wrong? Which would let me label it at least “Macronaria indet.” or even “Jobaria”? I am looking forward to your thoughts. :-)
