promotheus Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Hello I recently purchased three Dromaeosaurteeth from ebay, but im unsure if it could be from another species. Here are some photos: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rt=nc&nma=true&item=370452628840&si=CUqsZ5BGIEAy%252FklxlSKwViLPms8%253D&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_500wt_922 I have not received the teeth yet so I can not tell myself, just curious.

paleozoicfish Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 John, He was not identifying them specifically when he said Dromaeosaur, he meant Dromaeosauridae (teeth belonging to an indet. small theropod of this family), not Dromaeosaurus which is a genus. They certainly are small theropod teeth, not sure if anyone can help further. cheers, PzF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paleozoicfish Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Here is an article on Dromaeosaurus from North America, although I am not sure if this will help. Either way it is a fun article. cheers, PzF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 post some better pix when you get the teeth. The bottom two look dromeosaurid, but the top one is maybe not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first thoughts when I saw those teeth that it was a fair chance it could be from a different species. Will post better pictures when these babies arrive.

FF7_Yuffie Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 I think the all may be from the actual genus, Dromaeosaurus. At least, the top one looks really similar too and is around the same size as a Dromaeosaurus tooth I bought a few weeks ago. The other smaller two look of a similar appearence and size to other Dromaeosaurus teeth I've seen for sale elsewhere. Course, take what I say with a pinch of salt since I'm not an expert, just a normal collector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you didn't offend any experts. Edited November 16, 2010 by flyguy784 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't mean to offend anyone What I meant was, I just buy fossils & collect, I don't really know much about identifying fossils and stuff so maybe you should wait for someone who knows more than me before taking what I say as the old gospel truth.

promotheus Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 I agreed with the above poster, not much of an identifier myself, if that is even a word. Still waiting for the fossils to arrive, will toss some photos up then. Tho as I said im not much of an identifier, but this made me giggle: http://cgi.ebay.com/Rare-Dinosaur-Fossil-/280589747350?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item415473c496 Abit offtopic, but anyways.
