What can you tell me about this sabertooth fossil?
vaetki posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I'm in the process of buying this saber tooth tiger skull (AMPHIMACHAIRODUS) . No restoration has been done and it was found in Gansu, China (will edit with the exact location when I'm able to, website is down). I would greatly appreciate any insight about this fossil, any potential red flags, etc. This will be my first fossil purchase so I want to make sure I'm smart about it. Thanks so much for reading!

Hello! Would like some opinions on whether this is a Smilodon m1 molar? The fossil was found in Florida and I have attached some pictures below I’ve also attached pictures of potential tooth locations on Smilodon skulls, highlighted in red circles From what I’ve heard canid teeth have a more broad surface whereas felid is much more angled and sharp since cats use them for cutting while dogs use their teeth mainly for crushing (dire wolf)

Hello, Just want to ask for some opinions on whether this is a Smilodon incisor and how one would be able to identify it as such since it’s in pretty worn condition, it seems more likely that it could be either dire wolf or bear and that the “Smilodon name” is just to get more attention and money for the fossil? Thanks in advance, appreciate any help!

I have not been out hunting enough, which has me looking at old TFF threads. I posted this canine 5 years ago in FosslID , but did not get much feedback and it faded without me learning much about it. Originally, I thought Alligator, because of the hollow root. but it did not have a horizontal edge between enamel and root, and the root was not an oval shape. Then I considered Dire wolf, because of the shape of the enamel, and the shaped carina down the side. I wondered at that time if the tooth was unerupted. I have never found/identified a Dire Wolf fossil from this site. Finally, because of the serrations ??, I thought Sabercat. The serrations are not clear, the root is oval... Please tell me what you think it is, and what you think it is not... I'd rather not have another 5 years go by... wondering.
