Crazyhen Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Could you please take a look of this big Spinosaurus tooth from Morocco and tell me if it is genuine? It measures 16x3x2.6cm and weighes 120g. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runner64 Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 It looks to be a composite of several partial Spinosaurus teeth glued together and covered by matrix to hide cracks and repair. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abstraktum Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Yes looks like a composite. Also it has a weird shape, like crooked? I have my doubts a teeth would grow like this. Just looks all together weird. I would stay away from this tooth. 16 cm would be around 6 3 inches. That's mega big for a Spino tooth. This adds to my doubt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SULLY Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 This is probably the absolute worst scabbed together garbage tooth I have seen to date come from that region. Unless it’s free, definitely stay clear of this one! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pemphix Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Composite from at least minimum 4 tooth-parts. I would stay away ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haravex Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Just seen this yes its a real composite, in terms of fakes from morocco they are rarely completely fake, they will always be using some parts of real fossils. So a better question might be to ask how much is fabricated or is it a composite, the answer in this case is yes you can get a lot better out there avoid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
