Actual dinosaur fossil?

[Mikek718]

New to fossils and seeking to find out if the fossil is a legit dinosaur before buying. Not much info on the piece

I dont know what that is, or what its supposed to be.  If you are new to the world of fossils, I wouldnt be buying things online like this.

Thanks

Possibly bone? But then again, without clear information on provenance and even a supposed ID from the seller, it's not possible to determine what this is or if it even comes from a dinosaur. I would recommend saving money for a piece that you can put a positive ID on and that is more recognizable.

100% agree.  Initially looking at it I am not too sure what it is...save your money for something that is identifiable.  Bigger=/=Better but Quality>Quantity.

Thanks all. Yup definitely going to hold off.

Without going into too much detail because advertising isn't allowed, there are more common dinosaur teeth (Spinosaurids and Carcharodontosaurids) that can be had at relatively affordable prices, and are much easier to verify than small and isolated pieces of bone. You'll find them on various sites online. It's a great way to start a collection imo.
