Hello. I was wondering if someone could identify this vertebrae. It originates from the Kem Kem Basin of Morocco. I don't have much else information on it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi everyone! I want to introduce some new additions to my teeth collections. 1. Nodosaur tooth from Judith River Formation This tooth is from Hill Co. Montana. Has nice set of serrations, and 10 mm wide. There are two genus of Nodosaur known from Judith River F. : Edmontonia and Palaeoscincus, thus, this is a Nodosaurid indet. 2. Pygmy sperm whale (Kogiopsis) tooth from Hawthorn Formation This tooth has no tip, but have enamel and root. This is slightly larger than 3 inch

Is my carcharodontosaurus tooth authentic?
Snailtopus posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi, I purchased this carcharodontosaurus tooth a few months ago. It seemed legitimate, but my knowledge at the time was especially limited. I'd really like to get a second (third, fourth, etc...) opinion on it. I've attached some photos. I can try to get clearer ones if it helps. Thanks in advance. -
Hey all... I thought I'd put up some pics of my fossil collection - well, the sharp end of it. I have a few other fossils (fish, ammonite etc) but for now, I'll put up my fossil teeth. I started collecting fossils almost by accident a few years ago, I was in a small rock and mineral shop, in a small town 2 hours from home, this shop had a small selection of fossils too and the Otodus teeth they had in stock grabbed my attention, I bought one and my collection has been growing ever since. The Otodus obliquus teeth below were my first and second fossil purchase

I have a rooted Carcharodontosaurus indet tooth and trying to determine which part is lingual and labial. I know I can determine lingual side and labial side by using the curvature of mesial and distal, but this tooth is kinda confusing... Thanks Mesial distal One side with groove Another side without the groove Crown

Rooted Carcharodontosaurus tooth?
TeethCollector posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
How do you think about the rooted Carcharodontosaurus tooth? My personal opinion is, the crown seems repaired a lot, but the connection between the crown, I can see the groove for a new tooth. How's your opinion? Thank you -

I bought a tooth of a Carcharodontosaurus from Kem Kem bed, Morocco! Seems like it was broken into three pieces and glued together, and lots of enamel worn off. But it has great size and serrations!

I have here a 3.3" Vertebra from the Kem Kem of Morocco, identified as Carcharodontosaurid. Before I buy it, I'd like to know how accurate that identification might be. I know how tricky verts can be to narrow down. I'm suspicious for that reason. Thank you, Bellamy

I have here another Carcharodontosaurus. This one is just over 3". It appears free of repairs and restorations. Anyone see any red flags? Thank you, Bellamy

I have here Carcharodontosaurus teeth from two sellers. No restorations are declared. However, I'm suspicious of both and would appreciate more opinions on them. Here's the first one, I believe the tip is restored. It's 3.78"

A new "T-Rex" tooth just showed up on our favorite site. It is not a Tyrannosaurus rex tooth however but a more common and far cheaper Carch tooth. We know this because of its more blade-like morphology, its slender profile, its shape, its smaller denticles and the sand on the base I already notice multiple bids on it and I have no doubt the price would escalate as many hopeful collectors would try their hands on getting a cheap T-Rex tooth for themselves. For anyone looking to buy a true T. rex tooth, there are several factors to take note of: 1) Thi

Giganotosaurus Tooth? Or Carcharodontosaurus Dinosaur Tooth Fossil
Kurufossils posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi everyone, I was recently offered this Giganotosaurus tooth. I was wondering if there was a way to distinguish it from carcharodontosaurus teeth from the kem kem beds? Or if anyone can share there opinion on this one, thank you. -
So, this theropod tooth came in a lot of a bunch of other teeth I bought as part of a box lot of about 20 Kem Kem theropod teeth. Most of it was in pretty bad condition, and there wasn't really provenance attached to them, but I paid literally pocket change for them. But to get back on point, I wasn't sure if this was an Abelisauridae, or a Carcharodontosaurus, possibly an indeterminate theropod. My gut feeling is that it's an Abelisauridae, but I'm not sure, Abelisaurid teeth tend to be much more easily recognizable, and I have a lingering doubt on this one. Measurements are in centimeters.

From the album: Dinosaurs
Species: Carcharodontosaurus saharicus Age: Cretaceous (Cenomanian), c. 95 million years ago Location: Kem Kem Formation, Morocco A lot of the enamel is missing, but an otherwise well-preserved tooth of Carcharodontosaurus saharicus, some would prefer labelling Kem Kem Carcharodontosaurid teeth as "Carcharodontosauridae indet." on account of Sauroniops pachytholus, but a 2020 study declared that it was likely synonymous with C. saharicus so I am comfortable with just referring to it as a tooth of Carcharodontosaurus. -

Repair on carcharodontosaurus tooth?
Per Christian posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello everyone This tooth is one is like to buy if it's no repair, but it's a strange one. It looks as if it's supposed to have repair because the contours are off. But the enamel is really pretty. What say people here? Repairs? -
Repair on carcharodontosaurus tooth?
Per Christian posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello all, I'm thinking of buying this carcharodontosaurus tooth, it's 78 mm long, but it looks a little restored in my unprofessional eyes. What do people here think? -
Hi all. I have this tooth that i think is either an abelisaurid tooth or a carcharodontosaurus premax. Does anyone here have an idea which it could be? The tooth is a bit over 2 inches in length. It's from the Kemkem i think

Hi everybody Newbie from Belgium here. Been collecting, trading, swapping fossils for over a year now. Nice little amateur collection, bit of preparation-trails,... I've been wondering if there are specific techniques in the final preparation of teeth? Most of the high value teeth I see on *insert auctionsite* seem to have this shine/luster/gloss to them which makes them very pleasing to the eye. The photos of the Carcharodontosaurus-tooth show what I mean. I have about 10 of these (+7cm), but in no way as "shiny". Has there been any coatingproces to the ori

Rooted carcharodontosaurus teeth
Fotsirk posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi . I got some rooted teeth. I heard they are harder to find because it means the dinosaur died. So are these good Thanks -
Along with the debate on how many Spinosaurids are there in the Kem Kem we have a similar one on Carcharodontosaurids. Attached find paleontologist Andrea Cau blog on this subject. He analyzes the arguments brought by Ibrahim et al. (2020) and offers his rebuttal: http://theropoda.blogspot.com/2020/10/sauroniops-non-e-carcharodontosaurus.html His Conclusions "1) The front of Sauroniops is not 60% of that of Carcharodontosaurus , but of comparable size (and proportionately more stocky and broad, and both extend over 19 cm above the skull). 2)

I bought this tooth 5-6 weeks ago, as a carcharodontosaurid tooth. Very nice tooth, but, i think that the tooth is very flat for carcharodontosaurid. I don't have photos with the cross section, but try to imagine a tooth 1.94 inch long that is only 6-7 mm thick.

This is my new carcharodontosaurid tooth from Morocco. The tooth is 1.94 inch.
