This fossil was discovered on September 26th 2025. It is the cross section of a metasequoia cone and is by far one of the best ones we've found so far!
This fossil was found in one of the marine tongues of the Horseshoe Canyon Formation. It was also one of our very first mollusk fossils from the formation. The species that this shell belongs hasn't been identified yet, but that could change in the future.
3-MB-24 was the first tooth found in the Tolman area of the Horseshoe Canyon Formation. It belongs to an Albertosaurus sarcophagus. The lines on it are likely due to roots from modern plants growing around it trying to get minerals. It was found relatively close to 4-MB-22, about 150 or so meters away but the situ it came from was lower than the layer where 4-MB-22 was found. The hillside could have collapsed moving the tooth to a different elevation level or it could have just originally been deposited there.
These amber pieces come from the Horseshoe Canyon Formation and I believe specifically near the hadrosaur ilium that we found (hadrosaur ilium). They are the clearest pieces of amber found from the Horseshoe Canyon Formation yet!
4-MB-22 was our first dromaeosaur tooth ever found (and our only one found as of now). It was found on our second trip to the Tolman Bridge area in October of 2024. It was initially thought to be a shiny rock until it was picked up and examined more closely. Our best guesses to the species it belongs to is Atrociraptor marshalli or Albertavenator curriei as they were two dromaeosaurs that lived in the Horseshoe Canyon Formation.
