Guide to Help Purchase Rooted Moroccan Theropod Teeth
Troodon posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
We very often see collectors asking if the tooth they are looking to purchase or have in their collection been restored, extended or is fake. Most all the teeth in question come from Morocco and are Spinosaurid (sold as Spinosaurus) and Carchardontosurid (sold as Carcharodontosaurus). Sellers sometimes are aware of what they have and will state the resto and repairs, others may just be clueless, and others may just be deceptive. Bottom line you always need to be very cautious with of any of these purchases. How to avoid disaster 1) Buy high quality teeth, yes i- 8 replies

Hello to everybody! I'm kinda new here, but before I start I must say I really love this forum! It has really great vibes and you instantly can tell that this is a good and friendly community! So, I am ziggycardon, I live in Belgium, close to the border of the Netherlands and when we start speaking geologically, I live on the same cretaceous sediments as where the first major Mosasaurus discoveries where done! Unfortunatly I have never been on a fossil hunt myself and everything currently in my collection was bought or given to me. But I hope to change that soon, as I am dyi

Hello, I recently bought a couple of spinosaurid teeth from the Kem Kem. I noticed one of them had serrations and I wanted to make sure it would still be considered a spinosaurid tooth. I've read over a really cool post by Troodon that helped me differentiate with the teeth from this area. There are some raised ridges on both sides which leads me to think its a spino. However, the serrations run on both sides of the tooth as well, although the distal serrations are much smaller in size, and I'm not entirely sure if spinosaurid serrations are shaped the way they are o

So I own 4 Spinosaurid teeth from the KemKem beds now between 79MM and 116MM. As looking closer, they can vary a lot between the teeth. Is there any explanation. As most of the people call it the regular Spinosaurus Aegypticus. Looks to me there could have several big spinosaurids lived during the time? I am not as educated as most of you are. Hence the question I'm asking out of curiosity.

What parts of this spinosaurus tooth are restored?
LordWampa posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello, Once again I am looking for your help! The seller of this spino tooth says that it has some glued fractures (this is obvioulsy seen) and some filled fractures. Do you think only some small part of this is restored or do you see any part that may indicate that the restoration is bigger than just some filled fractures? -
Is this an authentic Spinosaurus claw? I'm a little cautious as it's from Morocco and I've heard there's a lot of fakes, reconstructions from there.

Are these real Spinosaurus claws?
Ginger0412 posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Are these real Spinosaurus claws? You probably know that I recently posted about Spinosaurus Claws. I am very confused whether to buy or not. Therefore, the seller has sold other spinosaurus claws in the past, so please tell me if the claws are genuine. If the nails that were sold in the past were real, the idea is that this nail is also real. I am always bothering you, but please help me. -
