Spinosaurus claw, real or fake?
Nicopaleoadventures posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi guys, I bring you this new topic regarding this 8cm Spinosaurus sp. claw. Do you think it's real or fare? I rely on you who are certainly more prepared than me ahahahahah. Thank you very much!

Can anybody tell me if this is real I bought this tooth for my youngest kid and was told the site I used was reputable the site did say it had some repairs can anyone help me out thanks in advance.

Hi all, A friend in North Carolina has this (among many other) box of bones from Morocco that need some sort of ID or general push in the right direction. I haven't been staring at bones long enough to make sense of these, but the tray they're sitting in is 15 inches long. My own personal uneducated guess is that I see some metacarpals and other small hand bones, a metatarsal or two, etc. , but I welcome outside opinion. I have my eye on the one top right, first in the group of 3 so I'm especially curious about that one. Mahalo!

Hi, I know very little of fossils and bought these two spinosaurus teeth (did not pay much). Said to be from Kem kem. Afterwards I have realized that there are a lot of fake teeth on the market. One of the teeth I bought looks nice but maybe it has been repaired? The other one looks not so nice. Is it a mixture of sand and glue on it? Gluing three pieces together. Or can a tooth look like this when it is found? Even if they have been repaired and/or glued, they are still real fossils right? Both are about 2.5 inch. /Johan

Composted tip at the darker end right? also is the missing enamel spot on the side of the tip filled?
-
Location is kem kem beds, seller said less than 5% restoration. I know nothing about claws but this one almost looks too good to be true and too perfect but I’m not sure how to definitively tell if it’s real or fake
-
7 inches long, seller stated it has repairs but no restoration. He said the root is from the original tooth, the root looks suspect but I’m no expert
-
Might buy this spinosaurus tooth, anything off about it?

This is being sold as a Spinosaurus premaxillary jaw from the Kem Kem, but I'm suspicious. Any opinions? And if not Spinosaurus, what could it be? Size 23 cm / 9.06 inch

Every year at the Denver fossil show it seems like I pick up some unidentified Kem Kem material. This is because for one it’s cheap, but also because it’s kinda fun to investigate this material. Here are eight pieces I picked up as a bulk set. I have some idea about identification on each of these but would love to hear other’s input. In the following pictures I have the top row being archosaur fossils and the bottom row being fish fossils. My guesses: 1. Caudal(?) vertebra centrum. Croc or theropod, but probably croc. 2. Croc dorsal vertebra 3. Croc centrum 4. Theropod pedal phalanx. Specifically, the distal-most phalanx of toe 1 (the “dew claw”). Narrowest ID I think I could guess we would be Ceratosauria indet., should probably be labeled as Theropoda indet. 5. Two fused fish vertebrae. Are these identifiable any more than this? 6. Gar or gar-like vertebra 7. Chondrichthyan fish vertebra. Maybe Onchoptistis numida? Can that determination even be made? 8. A gigantic ganoid scale. Any guesses just based on size? I’m unfamiliar with all the monster fish in this rock unit. Thanks :)

I was wondering if these spinosaurus. teeth were actually plesiosaur teeth? I got them from a auction site labeled as spinosaurus teeth.

Hi, can anyone tell me if this bone could be the scapula of a Spinosaurus? The fossil has not been manipulated, i think. Some Info: Origin: Morocco Dinosaur: Spinosaurus aegyptiacus Dimensions: 33×24×4 cm

Came across this tooth on the internet. Although not my own interest, it does make an interesting conversation. How much of this tooth is real? It's 7,5 inches in length. Spinosaurid.

I'd like to trade my Beautiful Spinosaurid teeth

Hi everyone! I am offering two of my better spinosaurus indet. teeth from the KemKem group, Morocco. I am looking for other theropod teeth myself. Perhaps a more rooted spinosaurus. Just no stuff from Niger. The red one is 6 centimeter. This one is 11.4 centimeter

Hi, do you think this Spinosaurus Tooth is legit ?
-
This tooth is just shy of 4 inches, is this from an adult Spinosaurus? How big was it, based on the tooth size? I’m also curious if the bottom of this tooth is the root or worn enamel.
-
Can anyone help with IDing this as a potential spinosaurus bone? It’s from morocco, which I know is the appropriate place, although I don’t know what site it’s from, but assuming it’s from the correct place, can anyone tell if this could be spinosaurus? I feel like the color seems a little weird for being from Kem Kem, but I don’t know any more than just what I always see that is apparently from Kem Kem, is generally a different color. Thanks so much for any/everyone who responded and could give any info on the subject!

Is this Vertebrae belong to Spinosaurdae?
Cris Tang posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi, one of my friend sent me photos. And he said it’s from Spinosauridae. But I don’t really know it and it’s original or not. Ma I know the preservation of it is good or not, please? Thank you
-
This is being sold as a Spinosaur jaw piece from the Kem Beds, Morocco. I have my doubts and suspect it's either crocodile or Mosasaur, but would like your opinions. Unfortunately these are the only photos I got. @Troodon @LordTrilobite Size 4 inch (10 cm)

Hi. I need some help on this claw. I read the topics on buying claws but i still find it very hard to tell if its real or not . Is this one worth buying and if its real how much of it is restauration . Thanks
-
Hi again, i found this bone on web. In your opinion, could it be a metatarsal bone from a spinosaurus aegyptiacus? Some info: Location: Taouz, South Morocco Kem Kem Beds Geological Formation: Ifezouane Fm Size: 25,4 cm Thank you very much. :-)

Getting much better with recognizing fake Spinosaurus claws, however I'm having a little difficulty with this one. I'm seeing clear bone structure, but am wondering if it's just a carved piece of bone. Any opinions, @Troodon?
