James Savage Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 (edited) Hello everyone Recently returned from fossil hunting on private ranches in Montana (Garfield County and Fallon County) for Cretaceous Hell Creek fossils. Found lots of cool micros (teeth, verts, etc.) and macros (pubis, scapula, verts, etc.). Went with PaleoProspectors who I highly recommend. Below are photos of some items for ID if possible Photo 1-Overall Line 1-One of the raptor digits; Line 2 Maybe very worn claws; Line 3 Maybe very worn Ankylosaur osteoderms; Line 4 Crocodile Jaw Photos 2-7-Two apparent raptor digits. From Troodon's ID of Claws/Ungals from the Hell Creek Formation possibly look Troodon? Not sure if ID beyond Raptor is possible Photos 8-14 Very small about 1/2" possible claw. Again from Troodon's guide possibly looks like a Troodon hand claw Photos 15-18 -About 2" very worn bone with a gentle curve, possible blood groove and odd shape. Maybe just a very worn bone but wanted an opinion on it. Photos 19-24 -Two very worn bones with a ridge that look a little like an ankylosaur osteoderm with a center ridge. The surface texture doesn't look exactly right but they are pretty worn. May be just worn bones? Photos 25-28-Broken Crocodile jaw without any teeth or sockets. Let me know if you would like any additional angles on the photos, more info on which photos go with which description, or want more info. Thanks for looking, I appreciate any opinions on these items. Edited July 23 by James Savage Organized Photos with Descriptions 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Hi, - There are still a lot of photos for an identification request ! - The photos are not numbered, which makes it difficult to answer. - We are forced to scroll through the comments associated with the photos, which is not practical at all. Each comment would be better under the photo that concerns it. We are always happy to share our knowledge, but for all these reasons I pass my turn.

James Savage Posted July 23 Author Share Posted July 23 Thanks for the comment. I've edited and it is much easier to see with the descriptions before each group of photos (it is a lot of photos and a long topic-but wanted to show each angle). Let me know if you have any questions or comments on ID. Thank you very much @jpc@ThePhysicist@Tidgy's Dad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
