Hi everybody! I'm here to ask you for help in identifying this tooth. Assuming this is a real tooth, the tip has a strange color/transparency, which dinosaur could it belong to? It's not in my hands, I only have these photos which I hope will be enough. The post says it comes from Morocco, late Cretaceous and that it is the tooth of a raptor, but the site is not very reliable in terms of identification, the tooth measures 2.3 cm height and weight 1g. I would like to know what you think about. Thank you!

Looking for an ID on this raptor tooth from Judith River. Trying out a new clip-on macro lens for the first time… apologies for the picture quality. Thanks!

Hello, Am I right in this being a type of raptor tooth? From Shaximiao formation. 1cm? No raptors are described from there yet, so I don't expect a species to be narrowed down. But I am curious if it is raptor or a juvenile of something larger. thanks

From the album: Hell Creek Formation Microsite
Dromaeosaurid teeth showing range of morphology (which may or may not represent distinct taxa). A) indeterminate dromaeosaurid with a spalled tip; B ) indeterminate domaeosaurid with a mesial carina that twists onto the lingual side, dromaeosaurine?; C) Acheroraptor temertyorum; D) dromaeosaurid premaxillary tooth (likely A. temertyrorum); E) indeterminate dromaeosaurid, anterior tooth?-

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.

Hello, Found an online sale of an indet. Raptor claw, see the link below. edit: it is something that somebody else has for sale and I decided not to purchase it. Found it unfair to have it listed here as potential fake without any clear answer. Therefore I deleted the photo’s, best answer is a link to similar fossils, so thats the informative value of this post.

Hello, i saw this already sold theropod tooth today, which was listed as "possible Dromeosaur tooth from morocco". Was it really one ? Or just another Abeli, Carch, or Noasaur tooth ? And If someone can still find the artikle about how scientists used AI to filter all morrocan theropod teeth to find possible Deltadromeus teeth, migth Link it here in the replies ? Well, lets see what you think this tooth belonged to.

Hello! Found in NW Alabama, Franklin county, near creek. Not sure if these are fossils, but there is a perfect hole near wide edge of the larger "half". Yes, the photos are of 2 peices that appear similar/same, as with the upper and lower bills/beaks of birds..Red Color from lighter can b seen in photos. Could it/they be from Native American adornment, or even much further back in time?? thanks! Chris

“Raptor” tooth bought in curiosity shop. True species unknown.
M3gal0don_M4n posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello. I have another unknown tooth. I bought this and it was labeled as a raptor tooth. I have heard that this is a common occurrence. Upon searching the internet I found that it is in fact not a raptor tooth, however I found many things that looked similar. I came to the conclusion it was either a Abelisaurid or Carcharodontasaurid. Is it either of them or something else completely. If someone can tell me the exact species that would be great. If needed, when I am back from my trip to my country place, I can upload more images.- 13 replies

Peace River find. I think it is a Raptor claw. Would appreciate any other possibilities. Some questions: Can we tell left or right foot ? Which digit (Obviously not hooked)? What Raptor? and finally.. Is it modern? @Auspex

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.-

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.

Unknown Bird/Pterosaur/Small Raptor bones from Hell Creek Formation, Montana
FossilRobert posted a topic in Fossil ID
I've got a few bones that I've been scratching my head over for a couple days. They are from the Hell Creek Formation in Garfield County, Montana. They're extremely thin and hollow, and only one seems to have undergone some compression. I'm including measurements with the photos below. Curious to hear what you all think. -

These two claws were collected from tar seeps in Kern County, California by the late George Lee back in the 70's. I have seen bird claws identified to species before and would like to know if these two can be as well. A friend has a variety of fossils from there and asked me about these today. The larger claw is 31 mm from tip to most distant part of the back of it. The other is 27 mm. Thanks, Jess

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!

Hi, A pair of teeth I am interested in. The first one, 1.25 inches. Sold as a dromaeosaur tooth from Hell Creek. Is it actually a Nano? It seems quite big for a raptor from Hell Creek. If a raptor, it would be Dakotaraptor because of the size? Next one is a Tyrannosaur-- just over 1 inch. Is it Tyrannosaur or another large raptor tooth? I have sent seller a message about the exact location -- county and stuff.
