Troodon Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I've got a tooth that might meet your requirements its rare and definitely exotic. So I'll kick it off with this tooth from Tanzania. Its possibly a ceratosaurid but not completely sure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dracorex_hogwartsia Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Do you have anything rare and exotic? Id love to hear about them if you have any! Well maybe, it's all relative :-) I'm not in the same league as Troodon though who truly has a spectacular world class collection. I like this post though, because like you I'm sure, I'm obsessed with dinosaur teeth and love to see real photo's of rare and exotic teeth that you just don't see on the market every day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well what do you have? I always love to see other teeth, rare or not. My collection is quickly becoming composed of rarer dinosaur teeth. I have found, I have a taste for exotic international teeth. I don't know why, I like to get teeth from rare locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love your teeth Suchomimus! I read your thread a while back and envy the amount of European material you have. I am looking into getting a few French teeth but I don't have any from Europe yet!

jpc Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Such... Is the dromaeosaur tooth in the middle of that block? It looks like it has a serious concavity along the base, like a bird tooth.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgehiker Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Such... Is the dromaeosaur tooth in the middle of that block? It looks like it has a serious concavity along the base, like a bird tooth.... The type specimen is based off of a theropod jaw section with teeth like the one Suchomimus has. None of my North American raptor teeth have this feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runner64 Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 Well congrads on a nice find. Anyone else have more teeth to add? I know I would love to see some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Over the years when Mongolian material was readily available in this country, not many isolated teeth other than Tarbosaurus ever came to the open market. So its a nice acquisition Andy. Would also like to see more pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runner64 Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) It is quite an impressive tooth. You don't see much coming out of Arizona. Is fossil hunting illegal? Or is there not much to find there? Nice teeth so far everyone. Gotta say I'm pretty impressed by what's been posted.
