joeride95 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 hi everyone "before buying these claws, I wanted to know if they were authentic! the first should be from Carcharodontosaurus and the last from spinosaurus! thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huntonia Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Dinosaurs aren't my area but these look fabricated to me. Spinosaurus claws are notoriously faked, and these look very rough and inconsistent in their shaping and texture. @LordTrilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 All of these look like fake Spinosaur teeth. Art projects, not real fossils. Real claws are quite rare and ridiculously expensive. Faking them seems to be the latest trend. 1 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praefectus Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 These claws all appear really bad. Avoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Like I said in my PM these are all fake. Hand carved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note package: made by a Moroccan biscuit factory. 3 My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned. See my Arizona Paleontology Guide link The best single resource for Arizona paleontology anywhere.

Graining seems to better follow curvature. However, some parts seem suspicious to me, like the splotches of matrix, and the preservation seems a bit off to me. Not too sure about the blood groove, but to me it looks bit more like it was carved in rather than being natural. I would wait for other opinions though.

Troodon Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Fake, Made up of multiple peices and carved. The blood groove can easily be seen to be carved and not natural Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bguild Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 The first set are far too uniform. These look to be carved as others have stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
