Hi there, I was wondering if I could get your opinions on the tooth below. The seller has said it is a Baryonyx but have mentioned that they can't see any serrations so maybe croc? The ridges in the pic stop about 2/3 of the way down to the base of the tooth. I will get location, formation etc if possible from the seller soon. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Saw this tooth online recently, it already sold but it was listed as a Tarbosaurus Tooth but it reminds me more of a carcharodontosaurus tooth but then again I am unsure nor familiar with tarbosaurus teeth, what do you guys think? I have included all photos in the listing.

Hi there, I have seen a tooth on an auction site advertised as a Timurlengia euotica tooth going for US $900.00 - Approximately £631.69. Can you have a look at it as I want the opinions of the individuals on this forum? Looking at similar tooth it looks legit... Is it also at a good price for the quality of the tooth? Details of tooth are: that it comes from the Bissekty Formation, Central (Kyzylkum), Uzbekistan. From the Upper Cretaceous of Uzbekistan Period (100.5–66 Millions Years Old) Not restored and about 6.5 cm.

Is This Torvosaurus Tooth Heavily Repaired/Fake?
Kurufossils posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Can across this one recently on our favorite auction site, a torvosaurus tooth from colorado. Though with no intention of buying especially at the high price tag it is at I have my suspicions, the seller claims it its 100% no repairs or restoration. Looking at the pictures I highly doubt it as it looks extremely repaired to me and some of it especially in the picture zooming into the tip reminds me of the little air holes found in fake cast trilobite. Idk how much is repaired or even if the whole specimen is fake, I'd be interested to hear what you guys think. Definitely a gigantic red flag to me. -

So I bought one of those small abelisaur teeth that came from kem kem that everyone keeps falsely calling raptor teeth. Does anyone know any more information on it? Abelisaurs have small teeth compared to their heads so the creature probably wasn't too tiny. It's about 1.5 - 2cm with even serrations. As i understand it not much is known of this animal but anything you guys know would be appreciated! -Tom

Not sure if this was the correct part of the forum to post. If not, my apologies. Buyer Beware! Perfect example of an unethical seller on a mainstream auction site. Selling this mammalian carnivore lower canine as a Nanotyrannus tooth. I wrote seller a few days ago explaining that it is not and to please correct listing. Seller has not responded and continues selling under misrepresentation of fossil. There are slready several bids on it. Sent a second email to seller today saying: "Shows how dishonest you are when you've been shown what this tooth really is and yet you continue to post it without the correction."

Please help me identify this tooth. I am fairly new to fossil collecting. Like many I've had my brachiopods and thumb print size trilobites for years, but nothing as cool as an actual fossilized tooth. Hence why I must admit right up front I was recently duped by the whole Deltadromeus label when purchasing something new for my collection. I'm a classroom teacher and I was in the midst of an intense unit on dinosaurs and fossils and I was eager to find some hands on examples to bring to my students. I jumped on an auction site and for a few tens I purchased this tooth. I wasn't motivated by the fact that it was a Deltadromeus tooth, but simply an actual fossilized tooth....something really different from anything I already owned. Fast forward a couple of weeks when I decide to look online for more "Deltadromeus" teeth and find a link to this forum - and a wealth of information explaining to me in very clear language why it is impossible for me to definitively claim this tooth as Deltadromeus! (A huge thank you by the way!) Trouble is, now I'm not sure how to descibe this item when presenting to students and/or friends and neighbors. I'm excited enough to be holding a fosslized dinosaur tooth. (OK, after saying that I'm holding my breath that it really is a dinosaur tooth after my recent stegosauria dissappointment!) While it would be great to give it a specific name so I could open a book and say "It's from that dinosaur" - it's far more important for me to be accurate, no matter how "general" that accuracy may be. That being said, what would be an appropriate way to identify this tooth? Is it correct for me to call it a Theropod tooth? Would it be correct to take it one step further and call it a raptor tooth or is theropod already going too far down the list of scientific classification? Due to the serrations does that indicate a carnivore tooth or is that simply an assumption? The last photo is kind of dark but it does show serrations on both sides. I am grateful for any and all assistance.

I have a 3/8" premax theropod tooth from the Hell Creek formation in Montana, Carter County. Anyone have any ideas whether this is dromaeosaur or tyrannosaur? I know most of the tyrannosaur premax teeth like this do not have serrations, but there are always exceptions. 19 serrations per 5mm.

The other day I got a few Morrison Formation teeth in matrix that are really beat up. For those who have worked in the Morrison know that you get a lot of small crocodile teeth. (why you rarely see them for sale is odd to me) The only tooth that wasn't in a dozens of small pieces looked liked a nice little croc tooth. I grabbed my pick and started going at it. Morrison croc teeth are round, and striated. This one started to look a little different on the surface though. As I chipped my way down I got underneath the tooth really fast. I soon realized this tooth was super thin. The whole tooth popped off, and I figured it was probably just a broken tooth. I looked on the back side and I saw enamel and structure, this was no croc tooth. There are no serrations, and it didn't look like a Diplodocus tooth. I cleaned the tooth, glued one bit that broke off during the prep. Through my research I know that I have found a sauropod tooth tip, likely Apatosaurus (featuring ridges, and the tooth is smoother than a Diplodcus tooth). What a fun surprise today! The tooth is 5/8" long. Back side Top side Side view.

Here is a tooth I think is Nanotyrannus. It's not big 5/8". At first glance I thought it was a dromaeosaur, based on the shape. However the serrations don't quite match the size for that ident. Hell Creek formation, Montana.
