Carcharodontosaurus tooth, being cautious
JBkansas posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Looking at a carcharodontosaurus tooth from a seller I've bought from before. I wouldn't ask opinion except that it's the most I've spent on a fossil. Per seller: Minor glue stabilization Minimal gap fill Bit of restoration at tip I see those repairs (at least I think I do, discoloration with loss of serations at tip, yellowish material in crack near the root) but I can't tell if a root is original or not.- 20 replies

about 6 years ago I found both of these oddballs in the bottom of Lake Murray in Carter County, Oklahoma. One is what appears to be fossilized 1/4' bubbles that extend up off of the cluster of bubbles, the other is a very smooth, flat rock that looks like a carving of some sort, and has a lip on one side on the bottom. they were found in less than 6 feet of water with a muddy bottom. the strange thing is that Lake murray is manmade, dug sometime in the forties. also, if you don't mind, what is a good place to buy small fossils(shells, trilobites,small fish, etc.) and cheaper gems/minerals?there isn't a very good shop or site to find them anywhere near here. Thanks!
