Teeth on the iow #fossil
@jack-parker-tyreman these are the Dino theeth of the iow. I’m honing to go with iguanadon tooth. this is to help you ID the tooth you put on. it may just be interestingly eroded bone.
I’ve got thay
Thay
That
OK!
nice seeing how many fossils you got in your homeland
yes.. I lucky to live in the best place in Europe to find Dino bones!
in South Africa you don’t get many dinos. mostly there’s synapsids from the permian to triassic, and mammal fauna from the last 10 million years
most dinos here are primitive ones. Coelophysids and prosauropods
are fossil common there @leonardo-miranda
not in my area
Nice! I only find iguanadon bone probably the commonest Dino EVER! I’d love to find coelophsis bone
oh
I’ve never found a fossil myself in the wilderness before
I live in a city. unless you want a long car ride to the rural scrubland, you have cement and tiles to entertain ya
I have to drive to get to the beach but only a 20 min drive. you do go to shops though (fossil shops)
that l do a lot
fossil shops yield real beauties
the IOW is an island I’m guessing. I envy your proximity to water. living a kilometer above sea level, 1200 kilometres from the ocean, is tedious
still, l live in africa and should enjoy it. the birds are colourful despite being noisy. the crackling lightning storms are awe inspiring despite the leaks on the roofs pouring like a continuous stream.
and you’re at arm’s reach from lions and elephants and buffaloes.
but they bore me after some time. always wanted to see European wildlife.
foxes and deer and stuff
now THAT is exciting
Well I’m not keen on boats… unfortunately the only way to get to the island is by boat. lucky with all the wildlife
there so hard to find though European wildlife. always wanted to see a hedgehog but I’ve never seen one
boats… nice boats…
well, we supposedly have genets here in the suburb but never seen one. (mongoose lemur hybrids)
owls are rare too
I hate the motion… could we swap?
of boats
never seen an owl
swapping homes… do you have a teleporting device nearby though?
i really want to see a mongoose!
no… do you😂😂
eh, we would both asphyxiate each other anyway. the difference in oxygen at different altitudes is immense
mongooses are overrated
l want a WEASEL
mongoose are soooooo cute.
I’ll trade you this box of pythons and hornbills if l can just see a SQUIRREL, at least
lol
you might like meerkats, l think
@leonardo-miranda meerkats! the iow is one of the only places where red squirrels thrive. Red squirrels are the cutest!
@smudge-smith Lucky you, my favorite dinosaur is iguanodon
really! mines either ornitholestes or vulcanodon @neven-popov-2
for me, it’s the early tyrannosaurs, the dromaeosaurs and the spinosaurs
I like irritator too
the pterosaur eating pigmy spino XD
?
Wow 49 comments on a single post, there has to be some record broken for that lol (oh and Microraptor, Archaeopteryx or Anchiornis for me)
now 50😂😂😂😂
I wonder if we can get to a hundred…?
Good idea
😂
😂

just adding comments to reach one hundred I’ll stop now though
Lol ok then

the blurry one is ornithochirius

You’re all crazy.
and @smudge-smith , l was making a joke about Irritator being one of the smallest spinosaurids, and also about the fact that it’s known to have eaten the strange diet of pterosaurs
Do you ever wonder what kind of mind would name a dinosaur “Irritator” lol
Oh wait here it is- “Martill and colleagues named the dinosaur Irritator as a tribute to “the feeling the authors felt (understated here) when discovering that the snout had been artificially elongated.”
yep, @daniel-park the original finder had stuck a whole bunch of crazy modifications to the skull to make it look cooler. the scientists spent many evenings scraping off Superglue
I will never know @daniel-park
😂
what are your guys LEAST favourite Dino. mines trex.
it should be Tyrannosaurus @smudge-smith , but for some reason people took to calling it by its species name. sorta like if you’re Smudge, but then people started calling you S. Smith.
calling Tyrannosaurus T. Rex is the same as calling Velociraptor as V. Mongoliensis
Triceratops would be T. Horridus
as for nasty dino names, l find some of those native language names kind of bothersome. such as Ledumahadi
I know but I can’t be bothered to type that all up
😂
but what is your least fav dino
@leonardo-miranda
l don’t like herbivores as much as carnies
same it’s just I love vulcanodon!
but there aren’t any that l despise in particular
what fascinates you about Vulcanodon anyway?
it’s just a handful of teeth
just the fact it’s small.. like me and it was found in igneous rocks
I know and sauropods are my fav kind of herb along with the ankylosaurs

….. the heck?
You’re drunk on brachiopod whiskey, smudge
actually @leonardo-miranda it’s bivalve wine
I think you mean echinoid eggnog but ok
are you sure @daniel-park it might be bone beer…
mammoth vodka
a MAN’S drink
from none other than Absolut Vodka
stromalite bailey
or shark cider?
@leonardo-miranda and @daniel-park why did we stop? Let’s go to 1000!
OK @a-trilobite
@leonardo-miranda I just realised it’s actually dodo sprirt
I don’t think there’s any more achoholic drinks 😂
orthocone schnapps
yeah, l don’t know
😂
sorry I’m obsessed with the 😂 emoji 😂
Ammonite alcohol
Nice one @a-trilobite
GINanotosaurous
😂
@daniel-park and @leonardo-miranda I’m late to the least favorite dino thing, but yi qi being a hybrid of a chicken and a bat gives me anxiety. Also imagine if bats aren’t really mammals and actually evolved from yi qi. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if they studied bat DNA and they weren’t mammals.
@a-trilobite you and me both
what about chilesaurus? that one’s just ugly
161 comments. Dear god.
so is yi qi a Dino @a-trilobite and @leonardo-miranda
Yi qi is a dinosaur, @smudge-smith . it has the distinctive characteristic of flying on batlike wings instead of feathered wings
no other dinosaur does the same
OK thanks @leonardo-miranda I just got a little confused.
@jack-parker-tyreman this is the tooth one.
The amount of comments is ridiculous
I really want a baryonyx tooth
To go with my most favourite dinosaur the spinosaurus which I have a tooth of
I hardly ever go to the Isle of Wight
Yet I see it everyday lol
If I could I’d literally spend a whole week going to fossil sites on the Isle of Wight and looking for fossils
😂
spino is also one of my fav dinos and I have a spino tooth too. bought though. I really want neovenator tooth
@jack-parker-tyreman
Smae
