There's also always a dealer like that at Sainte Marie too, though their offer is much more limited - mostly Moroccan spinosaur skulls...

Man, that Spinosaur skull is still so weird with it's bizarre upturned snout. I don't believe that is its natural position.

Each one feeds the stack of teeth above it as they are evergrowing. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted January 31, 2022 Author Share Posted January 31, 2022 I always take the time to pick Pete Larsen's brain at these shows and asked him about one item I found last year and two I purchased at the show. He confirmed my hope that this was a punchure and most likely came from a Nanotyrannus given the shape and size He also felt that this side gouge was from a tooth Verified that this small Coracoid <10" was indeed from a Tyrannosaurid. Pete indicated that the shape and location of the Glenoid process was what he sees in Trex rather than Nanotyrannus. So a juvie T rex Coracoid. Had a good discussion on Dromaeosaurids in the Hell Creek. Felt that this was an Ulna from one, not assembled properly so I need to fix that. Given the size Acheroraptor was a good candidate Pete feels there are at least 4 Dromaeosaurids in the Hell Creek: Acheroraptor, Dakotaraptor, a Microraptor and an indet Dromaeosaurid. That would explain my large Dromaeosaurid foot claw that seems too large for Acheroraptor and too small for Dakotaraptor. It also would explain the Dromaeosaurid teeth we are seeing that do not have any of the characteristics of the two described ones. @ThePhysicist @JoeS @-Andy- 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted January 31, 2022 Author Share Posted January 31, 2022 ALERT One of these large Spinosaurus claws was stolen from the Dealers room. Took only seconds from someone with remove it. It carries a 5 digit price tag so if anyone see its or gets contacted about it please let me know. I've asked the dealer to let me know which one and contact info. Seems to happen at every show. The police were contacted. It was good I took a photo of it, it's the only one that shows what the claw looks like. Edit: its the upper right one that was stolen 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
