Sorry for a couple of blurry ones but no I don't see any.   They are pretty rare and very small.   If you have a specific tooth in mind point it out might have missed it.

second riker case, from the second row on the right after the two camptosaurus teeth and below the lungfish tooth.

I don't think it was too wide of a crown and no one make reference to it, which they would have if it was.

This one appeared to be a cast. It was offered to me a day ago, seller has a few .

Only just found out about this topic, I had fun reading about it and looking at these photos. 

Saw some gorgeous stuff, id only wish to be there.

 

I got questions about some of the Spino claws I spotted, some of them are good , some of them are not

 

Thank you for sharing

Because we're not supposed to appraise or give out price information on fossils on the forum as per TFF-rules.

 

I truly appreciate the time and effort @Troodon Frank spends editing and sharing these images with TFF.

Bob the baby rex is ridiculously cool. Thanks for sharing all these pictures and keeping us in the loop on the happenings there! It feels like being there... albeit powerless to buy any of the tempting specimens. :D

Love the spectacular tar pit dragonfly. Thank you Troodon for all these photos, must be a lot of work to take them and erase all the price tags.

Do I spot a T. rex caudal vert on the top shelf, left side? :cool07: It looks to be pretty complete. Do you know if it has had any restoration done to it?

 

Thanks for posting all these pics. I always look forward to your annual Tucson threads.

@TroodonI join the words of many here, a great job done to share this event with those who can not travel there. :default_clap2:

 

So far have you seen any dinosaur eggs? Mainly Megaloolithus or Elongatoolithus. 

 

Thank you.

I don't inquire or look at all the items on the shelves.  Looks like the process are restored

Is it being a bad show???? I was expecting an absolutely brutal show after a 2-year break due to COVID... I see a significant loss in quantity... variety and quality of material that you have published for the moment compared to your publications from other years...
I have seen a Dimetrodon and an Edaphosaurus through other publications... Also the best specimen of a Helicoprion I have ever seen in my life... but not much else...

I was expecting a lot of dinosaur material.. some mounted skeletons..etc..etc..

Thanks from Europe for making this thread every year. It helps us and makes us enjoy a lot.

I'd like to see this Dimetrodon and this Edaphosaurus. Are these complete skeletons?

Yes. they are complete skeletons. According to the owner with very high percentages of original bone.
Unfortunately I cannot share images because they are not mine... they have only been sent to me.
