Another one from a particular online bidding site - this is listed as a Velociraptor mongoliensis tooth, sourced from the Gobi Desert, Mongolia. The seller describes the tooth as 15mm long, but unfortunately there aren't any other measurements. The colour is quite similar to Kem Kem teeth, but I have seen reddish fossil material from the Djadokhta formation. There are some prominent denticles at the distal base but the rest look worn off. Any thoughts?

Is this turtle fossil real?
Moozillion posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
In 1996 I was working in New Zealand and purchased a turtle fossil at a gem and mineral show. I was told it was from the Gobi Desert, and that's absolutely all I know about it. It weighs 9.5 pounds/ 4.3 kg; is 10 inches/25 cm long and 9 inches/23 cm wide at the widest point. I've got several photos, and now I just have to figure out how to post them...I am not the most computer literate person.. It looks like I can only upload 1 photo per page? I'll try to post more...
