Ref. J615

DESCRIPTION:

It's one of the finest teeth of this taxon we've ever had. A true beauty. Absolutely perfect.

Paronychodon is a genus of theropod dinosaur known from isolated, ridged teeth that are commonly found in the Late Cretaceous Lance Formation, although no skeletal remains have ever been discovered.

The teeth are small, conical or flattened on one side , and often have longitudinal ridges, but because they are so distinctive and unique, their exact identity is a mystery and they could be from a variety of small theropods like troodontids, deinonychosaurs, or even a pterosaur.

The Lance Formation is a rock unit in Wyoming that dates to the end of the Cretaceous period, approximately 66 million years ago.

Paronychodon and the Lance Formation:

Unidentified Identity: Paronychodon is a genus known only from its teeth, which are a common fossil in many Late Cretaceous formations, including the Lance Formation. No complete skeletons have ever been found, so the exact animal that produced these teeth remains unknown.

Fossil Teeth: The teeth are characterized by being small, conical, and possessing longitudinal ridges along the crown. Some teeth assigned to Paronychodon have been found to have a flattened side or were otherwise different in morphology, leading some to question if they are all from the same animal.

Possible Candidates: Because of the lack of skeletal remains, the teeth have been attributed to a variety of creatures, including:
-Troodontids
-Deinonychosaurs
-Alvarezsaurids
-Even pterosaurs

Lance Formation: The Lance Formation is a rock unit in Wyoming that is famous for preserving some of the last dinosaurs to exist before the K-Pg mass extinction event. It contains a wealth of fossils from a diverse ecosystem that included species like Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops.

Seller's Story

Jurassic Dreams is the world's largest online dinosaur fossils store, unrivaled as the most reputable source for authentic fossil specimens. We are the only leading online fossils store owned by an accredited geologist and paleontology expert. In addition, we have extraordinary authentic meteorites specimens from all over the universe. With dozens of different specimens in stock... our customers come back time and again. Because, simply put, our lifetime guarantee is unbeatable. My name is Juan A. Poblador and I have a strong academic background in Paleontology and Geology from the University of Madrid and University of Alicante. I have participated in fossil excavation projects in several locations mainly in Europe and Africa for over 10 years. Writing scientifically accurate descriptions of every specimen is one of the tasks that consume most of my time. Obviously, recognizing fake and restored fossils is second nature to me. So you can be sure that every fossil in this website has been carefully screened and inspected by me. I have served collectors and fossil enthusiasts over the years. I have also supplied museums and institutions. I combine the study and research of significant specimens with exhibiting and selling the many other finds, which helps fund the new expeditions. Additionally, I have a small team of support staff for logistics. I've personally trained them to handle and pack the fossils properly so that they can be shipped within 24 hours and arrive at your door in one piece. Last but not least, I'm fortunate to have a great network of other seasoned paleontologists with whom I discuss the rarest items, new discoveries, and exploration trips to remote quarries... If I don't know something, the paleontological community really helps out. I like to manage Jurassic Dreams as a well curated online exhibition of museum grade pieces. I'm a collector myself and I love to share the knowledge with other fellow collectors. That's why I will respond to any email when you have any doubt or when you buy, and you'll have a personalized fossil selection experience.
