This tooth is just shy of 4 inches, is this from an adult Spinosaurus? How big was it, based on the tooth size? I’m also curious if the bottom of this tooth is the root or worn enamel.

I bought this tooth last year from a trusted local fossil shop, it was sold to me as an authentic spinosaurus tooth. Is this truly a spinosaurus tooth or is it from a croc (or something else)? Hoping I didnt get scammed.. Also, for future reference, how would I tell the difference between a spino tooth and a croc tooth?

Spinosaurus tooth: real or fake?
Dankenki posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello to everyone, I bought this small spinosaurus tooth some days ago and I'm now wondering if it's real or not. The seller told me that it's non reconstructed but after seeing some stuff on this forum I'm not too sure to trust him. It comes from Kem Kem. Thanks to everyone!- 5 replies

Spinosaurus Tooth Real, Matrix or Glue
Mister Forelle posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I just got a spinosaurus tooth by my girlfriends dad for christmas and i have a few Questions: 1. Is it real or how much of it is fixed up with some kind of matrix? 2. What is that bright white part glimpsing between the sand? 3. Should i try to free the tooth from the dark/sandy part, to reveal his real beauty? 4. If yes, how? Thank you for your time!- 11 replies

Indeed, more Spinosaurus teeth from me. I appreciate the help that many of you have offered. It's much easier to spot potential issues with more experienced eyes and angles I hadn't considered. I have two Spinosaurus teeth here, both over 4". They look kosher to me barring some minor matrix fill on cracks. Confirmation would be lovely! Thank you, Bellamy First: Second:

I have here a 5" Spinosaurus tooth. The claim is that it has some repair to it using glue, but that it's all one tooth as opposed to a composite. If that were the case, I would be fine with it. However, I have my suspicions that it's a composite. I'd appreciate some more eyes on this!

My 8 year old son has been saving his allowance for some time so he can get a nice Spinosaurus tooth. He will have about 350.00-400.00 saved up soon. I have read several things on repairs and fakes, but still do not have great confidence in what I am looking at. I have found a few sites that appear to be reputable, but I am concerned about spending this much money on a tooth still. I am wanting him to make a good investment and it sounds like Spinosaurus teeth are not all that rare but over 4" seems to be a more unusual tooth. In the 350.00-400.00 range what size tooth should we expect to get? Is there another fossil that would be a better purchase for him in this price range? He already has a 5" and 3.5" Megalodon tooth he bought by saving his money.

Hi, I have two Spinosaurus teeth, both said to be from Khouribga Morocco but bought from different sellers. Both look convincingly real to me but I'm an absolute novice. One of the two teeth (but not the other) is becoming hollow at the non-pointy end due to the sandy contents crumbling. Gently tapping removes more. The reddish outer enamel surface seems fine though. So is that a bad thing perhaps indicating a fake? And if it's normal and OK is there an 'acceptable' way of preventing the problem? Thanks, Tim

Hi all, In the market of Middelburg, I saw this big fossil for sale. The stand owners say it is a Spinosaurus tooth from the Tenere desert, from the Cretaceous (when precisely they don't know). But I am not very sure of this ID, because I am not seeing anything that really looks like enamel. Also, it is HUGE! Some of the photos show a 10c (Euro) coin or my hand for size indication... It's approximately 18cm from tip to tip. I don't know much about spino teeth, but isn't that a tad too big? So, what exactly is it? Is it indeed a giant spino tooth? If yes, is this a normal size for it to reach? If it isn't, what is it then? And how much of it is real (in case part of it is fake)? Unfortunately, I didn't buy the fossil, so I can't give any extra pictures. I am curious to see what your answers are! Best regards, Max

Is this spinosaurus tooth real?
Smilodon3 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
So I've recently decided to start collecting fossils and such And for my first fossil i decided I would like a spinosaurus tooth (as the spinosaurus had been a favourite of mine since around the age of 10) The tooth wasn't super expensive but I inquired the seller about it and asked if it was real. They said it was basically. Anyhow, I got the tooth and was wondering if you guys could give me some insight on wether it is genuine or not.- 12 replies

From the album: Dinosaur Teeth
This is a rooted Spinosaurus tooth from the Kem Kem basin region of Morocco that measures 7 inches with cloth tape measure along the outer curvature. This is a massive specimen with only minor repair to the tip and some top notch professional restoration to a portion of the root for aesthetic purposes, but the length is 100% natural. Not a common specimen in this size and condition.- 1 comment
