"Spinosaur" tooth, is it real & ID
Trilobit posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I found this old tooth in a box in my house, the tip had snapped off. It said it was 'spinosaur tooth' Is it real, why does it have a strange pattern and if it is real, is it from some kind of spinosaur?

I bought this tooth last year from a trusted local fossil shop, it was sold to me as an authentic spinosaurus tooth. Is this truly a spinosaurus tooth or is it from a croc (or something else)? Hoping I didnt get scammed.. Also, for future reference, how would I tell the difference between a spino tooth and a croc tooth?

Hello! I saw a jaw fragment for sale from the kem kem beds, it's identified as crocodile. I've seen picsc of crocodile jaws before and that they have like a pitted texture, I don't see that very clearly on this one, but since this is out of my expertise I want to ask you guys who has more knowledge. Could it be something else like a spinosaurid?

Hi all, here is a spinosaur rooted tooth with a strange cavity sort of thing at the bottom of the partial root. Does anyone know if it's a hike for a new tooth? Or is it just some kind of damage It's from the kemkem, 7.5 cm long

Authentic Kem Kem Fossils? Composites?
eurichhhh posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello! I'm a new member and I was hoping I could get some second opinions on some Kem Kem fossils I'm thinking about purchasing. I've only collected American species, and have been recently interested in bones out of the Kem Kem beds. I've stayed away thus far because of the stories of composite fossils and Frankenstein pieces, but I've come across a couple that I thought were interesting and fairly priced. Was hoping I could get some other thoughts before moving on any of them (wanna make sure they aren't composites or areas of fill look weird). I've attached pictures of three specimens I'm looking at. Any help would be greatly appreciated! 1) Spinosaurus Vertebra 2) Spinosaurus Rib I think this one is what it is, prep work doesn't look the best, but just wanted confirmation I guess. 3) Carcharadontosaurus vertebra (transverse processes) I was wondering if I could get help on confirming the id on this one, not really sure what carcharadontosaur vertebrae are supposed to be like. Centrum is missing, not sure if that's important for the id.

This is a spinosaur tooth from Kem Kem Formation, Morocco. I obtained this from online. It is a large tooth, with length of 3.5" , and seems like broken into several pieces and repaired. I don't see any restoration in near-root area. Very white, clean. broken tip, which is very common for spinosaur tooth. Sadly, it broke into two pieces. The tooth is more fragile than I thought... The broken side shows shiny ivory color. Is it okay to use LocTite super glue?

Siamese Spinosaur Spine Spurs Speculative Shift in Spanish Species
Scylla posted a topic in Fossil News
Vertebra from Thailand of a Spinosaur lead researchers to realize that a Spanish dinosaur was also a Spinosaur. https://phys.org/news/2021-04-dinosaur-tail-vertebra-track.html -
Good evening everyone, Does anyone have an explanation why there are so many theropod teeth from Kem Kem available (Carcharodontosaur, Spinosaur) while there aren't way as many herbivore teeth being offered from that area? Shouldn't herbivores have outnumbered the theropods by a lot?

Hello, I won this last night. Sold as Spino, but I have my doubts cos of how thin it is and the fact it went for a really low price makes me think it is also croc. If someone can take a look, that would be great. If spino, then I gotba bargain. If croc, well, it is still a lower than normal price and will be nice on my crocodile vertebra row. Sorry for screenshot pics, im on phone so cant save directly. It is from Kem Kem basin. 2.16 inch. 216 g in weight. Many thanks

Spinosaur Tooth - Comoposite?
BellamyBlake posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
This is a large Spinosaur tooth. It has obvious repairs, and some restoration horizontally along the middle of the tooth. However, I'm wondering if it looks composite. The claim is that it isn't composite, but I'm suspicious. -
I decided to expand my obsession with sharks towards an obsession with theropods. I received my first piece today, a Spinosaur from Morocco, even making a display resembling the rolling deserts of the Sahara for it. This thread will be updated when any further theropod teeth arrive

I’m gambling that this is a spinosaur bone, as it is supposed to be, but I really don’t know. Can anyone ID what this bone is, and if it’s spinosaurus or not? It’s apparently from Kem Kem. Thanks so much for any, and all help:)
-
I have here a Spinosaur tooth. It's nearly 4". I don't doubt it's "real," but it looks restored to me and I would appreciate help figuring out just how restored it is.

Can anyone tell me if this is a spinosaurus quadrate bone? It is apparently from Kem Kem. I think it looks pretty quadratey, just going by a number that I’ve seen in pictures. I JUST purchased/won it, but havent paid yet, so I was hoping I could get opinions ASAP, so I can either pay right away, or discuss cancelling the purchase if it’s not what it’s supposed to be. Normally I would have asked for help on here BEFORE purchasing, but it was a last moment situation, so i barely even had time to think, let alone post on here about it. Any help is greatly appreciated, as always!!! oh yeah, also, what’s that odd thing attached to the side of the upper part, thats even a different color? I’m guessing it’s part of the fossil, just....I don’t even know! I have no idea what would make it so weird and different from the rest.

A new study came out about Irritator where they scanned the skull to get a brain endocast. The paper itself is open access and so are the 3d files! I guess I know what I'll be 3d printing soon...

Any thoughts on this? Another vert I'd like to add to my buy list. From Kem Kem. 17cm long. Dorsal vert. Is the spinosaur label good, or could it be carcharodontosaur? Or, croc? Also, tge brown line down the middle isn't something suspicious ? Like a sign of restoration?

I know about the 2 vertebrates in the jacket but the other bones, do you think these are part of the Spinosaur forearms? Fossil found in Morocco.

Possible Suchomimus or theropod toe bone from the Elhraz Formation?
msantix posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi, Saw this for sale and was just wondering if this looks like a theropod toe bone or if it could be narrowed down? it is labelled as from Suchomimus but it could instead be from a croc or another theropod if not Suchomimus. It is 10cm in length and comes from the Elhraz Formation in Gadoufaouna, Africa. Thanks.
