sneakyelf Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 A very popular site has some "Tyrannosaurus rex" teeth. Here are two pics of one. Description does say Morocco yet also says T. rex. I see a repaired carcharodontosaurus tooth ( a dino not mentioned in the posting). Anybody have a different opinion? This person also has incredibly small hands for a 5.85 inch tooth!

Dracorex_hogwartsia Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 This is not a T. rex tooth, it is a Carcharodontosaurus tooth and a very bad one at that! It appears to be heavily restored! Stay away from this tooth! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Indeed, absolutely not T. rex. This is made from Carcharodontosaur tooth parts. Likely a composite of different teeth. I'd stay away from this. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Carcharodontosaurus teeth are often sold as African Trex teeth just to attract sales. Due avoid for the reasons stated. Like your comment on the size of hands. One seller I know, on our favorite auction site, uses her daughters hands to hold specimens when photographing . Just makes them look larger.
