Hi, just want to share with you one of my specimens and would like some opinion with regards to the potential ID of this theropod indet. tooth from the Yixian Formation in Liaoning province. As I have little familiarity with Chinese theropods and don't see a whole lot of real specimens reference pics available unlike their Moroccan or USA counterparts. Any input or insight from experts or experienced collector would be greatly appreciated. Here is the tooth in question and it's details that I gathered: The tooth measures about 1.5" measured straight with some visible restorations on the specimen This is the cross-section of the tooth taken from the base: This is the up-close visual of the distal serration: The serration extends down to the base with a serration count of approximately 3 serrations per mm. This is the visual of the mesial serration side: The serration extends down to only about 1/3 of tooth and the serration count is also approximately 3 serrations per mm Please let me know your thought and appreciate all opinions, thank you in advance!

My visit to the world-famous Zigong Dinosaur Museum in China
-Andy- posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
In May, I took a trip to China to attend my brother's wedding. Of course, I couldn't miss the world famous Zigong Dinosaur Museum. This museum was built in 1987, and is the first museum based entirely on Asian dinosaurs. Allow me to share my journey with you. Entrance to the museum: Within the grand hall: My mom standing next to the Mamenchisaurus and Datousaurus for scale:- 40 replies

A new oviraptor as been described from China Tongtianlong limosus. Near the end of the cretaceous a dinosaur got stuck in the mud all outstretched and perished. Today we have a very well preserved dinosaur skeleton that gives us an insight into one of the last surviving dinosaurs of China.
