Hi everybody. First of all thanks in advance for your help with my question. The pictures are of a tooth I bought from Morrison formation of moffat county. The tooth is labeled torvosaurus and is very large at almost 4 inches. It is not in the greatest condition though and appears t have some gap fill and is missing the majority of the enamel. I understand the tooth is not in great condition but I’m wondering if it at least looks to be all from the same tooth and not a Frankentooth. It seems to have similar texture and root etchings up to about 75% up the tooth. At that point it’s a little different and that’s where the gap fill is. However it seems the enamel on this part matches the enamel of what remains on the other part of the tooth. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks! Dean

Hello, Is this a Torvosaurus or Ceratrosaurus tooth? It was originally ID'd as a torvo tooth but then changed to Ceratrosaurus, however there is still a possibility it is Torvosaurus. The tooth is 1.2 inch long and was collected in Moffat County Colorado. Aditional information: CH 29.0mm, CBL 14.8mm, 6.9mm, anterior denticle density 3.6/mm, posterior denticle density 3.8/mm

Is This Torvosaurus Tooth Heavily Repaired/Fake?
Kurufossils posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Can across this one recently on our favorite auction site, a torvosaurus tooth from colorado. Though with no intention of buying especially at the high price tag it is at I have my suspicions, the seller claims it its 100% no repairs or restoration. Looking at the pictures I highly doubt it as it looks extremely repaired to me and some of it especially in the picture zooming into the tip reminds me of the little air holes found in fake cast trilobite. Idk how much is repaired or even if the whole specimen is fake, I'd be interested to hear what you guys think. Definitely a gigantic red flag to me.
