Associated Fossils From Different Species Together

Cool find! Do you think the Deinonychus was feeding on the Tenontosaurus or they were washed together?

Sorry for the late response. Anything is possible and Deinonychus would feed on Tenontosaurus carcasses. My guess is feeding since it not uncommon to find theropod teeth with skeletal remains.

Example, My friend found these two Rex teeth last summer next to a triceratops leg bone. Sorry the images are not better but the bigger tooth is over 5 inches.

This is a piece that only revealed itself to be a multiple species piece during the preparation. At first, I thought I found an association of two Austerops trilobites. But during the prep, I encountered a small but very nice Cyphaspis, too! All three trilobites have a very different orientation in the rock, so I needed to think carefully how to present them. It's indicative of rapid and violent burial. Poor things.

However, I like the position of the Austerops, they seem to be chasing each other.

The final picture shows the piece during the preparation.

Found at Jebel Ofaten, Morokko.

This is a shark tooth associated with a Mantelliceras ammonite shell. (cenomanian)

The tooth was actually in the shell, I had to remove a piece of the ammonite to reveal it completely, only the point was showing and stung in my hand while picking up the ammonite.

Also I don’t have the name of the tooth, any help is welcome. (the fossil is from Cap Blanc Nez in France)

Thanks :) Those T.rex teeth are great!

Not to be rude but is there anyone who posts pics larger than ~5 inches long on the screen anymore?

So do I, but I think we're in the minority, although I notice that my posted pics look smaller on my new monitor, but still bigger than that..

Thanks, Don. Collected and prepped in June 2015. Visited the quarry again earlier this spring with G. Phillips and others and the formation was determined to be the Marianna rather than Glendon.

There hasn't been anything posted here for a while, so I'll show this one, as Jess just suggested. An association of a Sphenodus sp. shark tooth together with an unidentified Terebratilid brachiopod and a Hibolites semisulcata belemnite from the Kimmeridgian divisum zone in the upper Danube valley, Germany.
