Hi everybody! Last month i saw this tooth on sale and it was love at first sight But from the beginning i understood that what it was and how it be presented are not on the same page... Luckily i know the seller pretty well and we trust each other...so i asked info before make the purchase...He told me that his provider (directly from Morocco) told him that the tooth was a Dyrosaurus phosphaticus but that he was not confident about the ID...the moroccan provider told to my friend/seller that was the first time that he saw a totth like that and its first idea of ID was D.

A suspicious looking crocodile
FF7_Yuffie posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
From the Morocco phosphate beds. It is described as repaired in places. But, I dunno, it looks suspicious to me. The teeth look placed in. What are others thoughts? Maybe im wrong and its,real. Or real and not the best prep job? Any thoughts would be great. -

The bone pieces are very delicate and most are still covered in matrix. I plan to clean and consolidate all of the bones, and then mount them in 3D. Whether I will do this in the traditional way, or with the help of my 3D

I obtained this partial crocodile skull and jaw some time ago, and haven't done anything with it yet. It's from Morocco, and was sold as sarcosuchus, though I imagine it's actually dyrosaurus. No idea whether it's just one specimen, or a mixture of bits. The teeth are glued on. Several of the pieces are also so fragile that they basically crumble when touched. Is there a method I should be using to stabilise them? I know very little about crocs, but I would love to get this to some kind of displayable state. I can digitally sculpt and 3D print missing pieces later, but my main p
