Acheroraptor was a small theropod (dromaeosaurid) "raptor" that lived in the same paleo-ecosystem as T. rex. Its blade-like serrated teeth possess diagnostic apicobasal ridges.-

Hi everyone, I haven't posted in a long time as I've been busy with a toddler but have recently made some fun additions to the humble collection. I've been searching for years for a killing claw from a dromaeosaur from Hell Creek and recently stumbled on what could be a killing claw but from what's being identified as a dromaeosaur from Judith River. It's listed as 0.6" which is fairly small. Can anyone provide any more insight into what it could be? Whether they see any extensive restoration? Could it be a troodontid given it's small size? The seller is also offering what I can only guess is a walking foot claw of a dromaeosaur from Hell Creek. 0.8" It's the paler claw. These would be some of the last fossils on my life long dream list to have. I appreciate any help anyone can provide and I'll try to also post more as things settle down cheers Marcus

Hello everyone! Here is a nice raptor tooth from Montana, JRF Hill county. Another collector and I were wondering what the species is likely. Especially with those ridges. Back then bought as a Saurornitholestes.

Fast. Intelligent. Deadly. The "Raptor" is perhaps one of the most famous dinosaur today thanks to Jurassic Park. To many people's surprise however, raptors are heavily feathered and nimbler than movies would have you believe. The Jurassic Park Velociraptor was merely the size of coyote in real life! In fact, their proper family name is 'Dromaeosaurid'. The largest species was Utahraptor, and it grew to the size of a grizzly bear! Dromaeosaurid fossils have been found all over the world. They first appeared during the Cretaceous, though isolated teeth have been found in the mid-Jurassic. Allow me to present my humble collection of Dromaeosaurid teeth. First up, from Cloverly Formation, one of my pride and joy from @hxmendoza A dromaeosaurid from Aguja Formation. I am seeing more Aguja fossils showing up, but dromaeosaurid teeth are still rare. Now, for the dromaeosaurids from the famous Hell Creek Formation. Some of them probably lived alongside T. rex. A big shout-out for @Troodon for getting me started on dromaeosaurids with this very first Acheroraptor!

Been trying to identify this digit for a while. Recieved it as a gift from a friend. I can't remember exactly if it was from Wyoming or Montana, but it was one of the two.

Authentic Acheroraptor tooth?
JessaB posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello, I found this listed as a 0.31” Acheroraptor tooth from the Hell Creek Formation in Montana. I messaged the seller asking about the locality/specific area it was found in and am waiting to hear back. Does it look like a genuine raptor tooth?- 7 replies

Hey all, What do you think of this toe bone from Hell Creek? The seller marked it as Saurornithelestes with a "?" at the end. It's a tiny 0.5". What I thought might be diagnostic about it is the proximal end. I believe it has Toe 2 Digit 2 characteristics. But it also looks like the flatter top part of the proximal end (bottom part in this picture) may just be worn down or something--it doesn't look totally smooth. If you think there's anything to the Toe 2 Digit 2 hypothesis, then I assume it's theropod indet rather than Saurornithelestes--or is there a case for young Acheroraptor? For all I know, you'll think the proximal end simply has wear to it and it's not even from an animal with a sickle claw. Thanks,

Hello everyone, I'm a novice considering an online purchase. In my corner of the world even poor quality fossils are few and far between both online and and in shops, so I haven't had much oppotunity to get a feel for what's genuine or decent quality and could use some advice. The tooth is listed as a Dromaeosaurus from the not very specific location of North africa. I'd of course prefer if the location was properly specified, but because I rarely see anything worth purchasing, I've ended up considering this tooth in spite of that. I'm wondering whether the tooth has been restored (the tip perhaps? The distal serrations?), it also seems quite shiny but that might just be the lighting. Whether the ID is correct, I know teeth from this area are generally poorly described. The tooth is 16mm long and to me the mesial serrations look smaller than the distal ones and the tooth seems to have slight ridges(?) The photos have been provided by the seller, so I apologize if the image quality is too poor to conclude anything. Thank you for reading my post

Trading my Aguja Fm dromaeosaur tooth for another rare dromy tooth
-Andy- posted a topic in Member-to-Member Fossil Trades
Hello, I am trading my Saurornitholestes sp. from the Aguja Formation of Brewster County, Trans-Peco region, Texas for another rare dromaeosaur tooth. I do not mind an indeterminate genus or species as long as it's from a rare locality, preferably Two Medicine Fm I already have dromaeosaur teeth from the following localities: Hell Creek Fm Judith River Fm Horseshoe Canyon Fm Lance Fm Kem Kem Grp So ideally, I'd like a dromy tooth from another formation. Thank you-

From the album: Hell Creek / Lance Formations
As a theropod tooth aficionado, I thought it useful to compare two families present in the Hell Creek Formation. They become increasingly difficult to distinguish as they get smaller, but this graphic presents some features which may be used to differentiate them on two similarly-sized exceptional specimens. Keep in mind there is some variability due to position, ontogeny, etc., so it's beneficial to study more than one tooth for each family.-

Hello folks, Any ideas on genus/species identification of this humerus? It's 14cm long, hollow, found in Judith River formation, Hill County, Montana. It was identified as "Dromaeosaurid sp. indent" by the seller. Possibly Dromaeosaurus albertensis? It looks very similar to the first museum skeleton below, and fairly similar to the second - although the humeral head is less prominent. However, the morphology in the third and fourth museum Dromaeosaurus examples looks completely different, so I'm not sure what to make of it.
