Hi TFF, I am a Dromaeosauridae enthusiast and have been collecting online for a little while now. I want to thank the members here for getting me educated on so many aspects of fossil teeth identification. I want to share my small collection in the hopes this is helpful for some of you in the future. Your critical input is highly appreciated, as always! #1 First up, one of my treasures, a robust Deinonychus antirrhopus tooth from the Cloverly Fm. A big thanks to @StevenJD for letting go of this one – much appreciated! Note the asymmetry in the placement of the carinae, best noticeable from the top view. #2 Representing the Judith River Fm., a cornerstone of my collection, a 1st left premaxillary tooth of Dromaeosaurus albertensis. I just love the way the mesial carina ‘folds’ onto the lingual surface. #3 Another premaxillary tooth from the Judith River Fm., a Zapsalis abradens with prominent ridges. The mesial carina has a nice twist, the cross section looks rather symmetrical, so likely not a 1st or 2nd premax. Distal denticles are hooked towards the tooth tip, but no mesial denticles are present and the tooth is not recurved. So, for now it is labeled as cf. Zapsalis abradens after Currie and Evans 2019, but could eventually be re-labeled as Saurornitholestes langstoni.

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!

Is this raptor tooth authentic?
JessaB posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello, This is my first time posting so I hope it follows all the rules! My sister loves archaeology and paleontology so I wanted to get her a fossil for her birthday. Her absolute favorite dinosaur is the velociraptor so I’ve been looking at raptor teeth and came across this one that claims to be from a velociraptor (the only one I’ve found that’s that specific genus). It says it’s from the Judith River Formation in Montana. Does it look like an authentic raptor tooth and is it possible to know what type of raptor it is? Thanks for your help! 5BE3CE06-4AA8-45B8-A703-A5266E5AD5E1.webp 5DFD9BC7-B4F7-4F01-8E0D-CAFE74F64E0E.webp 3CE0E0D8-4AAF-4E84-AB10-4B10163FC419.webp- 10 replies

Is this a real complete Dromaeosaurus
Fissiletag posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I recently saw a listing of a complete Dromaesaurus or some other Dromaesaurid. It is extremely complete, and I've never seen something like it for sale. Is it real?

Dromaeosaurus from China?
patrickhudson posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
What do you guys think? Full size dromaeosaurus from East Asia I think. Seems too good to be sold

Hi all, I recently acquired this Theropod indet. tooth speculating it might be a Dromaeosaurus albertensis. It was found in the Judith River Fm., is 0.72 inch long and serration count over 5mm is 20 mesial and 18 distal. It is a very stout tooth, so might as well be a Tyrannosaurid. It has a twist in the mesial carina and though denticles are very close in width, mesial ones are shorter, and the shape of denticles does not look classic Tyrannosaurid to me. I would like hear your opinions please.

Hi all. I am trying to learn about the characteristics of Dromaeosaurid teeth. This badly repaired and glued teeth (I am not even 100% sure it is not a composite) from Kem Kem is advertised as Dromaeosaurus, which it is most likely not. Yet it seems different from most Abelisaurid teeth and it might have some Dromaeosaurid like characteristics. Still I doubt it is the real deal, as I don't see a clear difference in serration density. What do you guys think?

Dear all, as an early Christmas present I got myself this tooth. It was sold as a Dromaeosaurus from the Judith River Formation in Montana. I tried my best to take close-up pictures of the denticles… They are clearly visible on one side but seem to be very worn (they are only faintly partially visible) on the other side… Can you agree on the ID of Dromaeosaurus albertensis? Thanks in advance and have a great Holidays!

This is my first attempt at getting a Dromeosaurus albertensis tooth from Judith River fm. I've largely been avoiding buying dromeosaurids like the plague that aren't Acheroraptor or Saurornitholestes. Provenance: Hill County, Montana The tooth is repaired, and I had to realigned it while restabilizing it with butvar. The tooth doesn't seem to perfectly fit together, or too much butvar ended up in-between. There does not appear to be any serrations on the mesial edge, and it doesn't appear to have any trace of serrations, at least not that I can see with a macroscope. I don't think it's Saurornitholestes sp. due to the serrations not having the distinct hooked shape. I'm not 100% sure whether or not it's Tyrannosauridae indet., but I don't think it is, but the robust dromeosaurids are supposedly very similar at first glances. Any help or clues is appreciated. If any pictures are insufficient, I can try and take better photographs.

Hi everyone, I am looking to get a Dromaeosaurus tooth and found 2 that are labeled as such. The serrations look different to me so I am not sure which one I should go with. I did browse through some old threads and saw some discussions about Dromaeosaurus not being found in Hell Creek which only confused me more. #1. Hell Creek, Harding County, South Dakota #2. Hell Creek, Carter County, Montana

Hello, three teeth that I am interested in. If someone is able to check that they are as described, that would be super! 1st is a pterosaur tooth from the Dockum Group, Scurry County, Texas - 0.9cm 2nd - Dromaeosaurus - 1.1 cm from Judith River 3rd - Theropod from Bissekty Formation - 3/4 inch. Many thanks. It's the pterosaur tooth that most interests me. I don't have any from that formation.

Fossil Hunting From The Safety Of Your Home
Mioplosus_Lover24 posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
With the current pandemic I decided now was as good of a time as any to get some matrix from the Aguja Formation with the help of PaleoTex! This turned out to be a great decision as I was extremely lucky, finding about basically everything I wanted to, and more in only 5 pounds of matrix! I'll be sure to post pictures but I got numerous amia and gar teeth, along with atleast 36 gar scales. Tons of Crocodile teeth including a large Deinosuchus tooth. Several shark teeth and a partial hybodus spine, also several brackish water pycnodontid teeth and tooth pallets. 4 fish or salamander jaws with teeth. Regarding dinosaur teeth I got 17 Hadrosaur teeth, including 2 partially rooted. A partial Ankylosaurus tooth. 4 Therapod teeth including a perfect Saurornitholestes tooth and a Premax. My favorite find however was the Paronychodon tooth I found! I'll be posting that picture first! Highly recommend this matrix, but I was also told that most people don't find all this stuff, so keep that in mind aswell. Stay safe! Happy hunting! (ID's for these specimens done by lab manager)

Ive been looking for a true dromaeosaurus tooth for a while now. Ive only been able to grab acheroraptor. Does anyone know of a reputable site or seller selling any?

We have been working primarily on our shark program material but we did add a few new dinosaur fossils. For the most part they are pretty small in size but add quite a bit to the education we do. These represent some iconic and scientifically important dinosaurs. In addition to these small fossils, we added a 6" Trike frill piece from HC, a smaller piece of a Horseshoe Canyon Ceratopsian frill, and a 2.5" Hadro vert from that formation. These are excellent touch fossils so I am happy ! The small fossils are..... Dromaeosaurus sp. Judith River. I big thank you thank you to @Troodon for some ID help. This is a really nice tooth and I am really excited about this one. We can get into some fun science about the study of tooth wear in determining what dinosaurs ate.
