FranzBernhard Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 No idea, just want to learn something today (waiting for expert opinions!). But thanks for sharing such a broad and educative selection. Personally, I don´t like the extreme gloss on some of them - too much laquer...

LordTrilobite Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 1st. Prognathodon sp. probably real but it looks a little altered or worn on the root. 2nd. Prognathodon sp. This is the best one. Definitely real. 3rd. Globidens tooth. Looks like it's probably real. 4th. Croc tooth I have actually not seen a croc tooth like that from Morocco before. Or at least not separate from a jaw. But it looks to be real. 3 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praefectus Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 They are all real. No composite roots. I believe the last one is Maroccosuchus zennaroi. Beautiful root on it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Andy- Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 They are all real, don't worry. I agree with Praefectus on the ID 2 Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel very confident now! i will definitely get at least two of those for my collection. (Now i only have 1 small mosasaur tooth and 1 small croc jaw and 1 croc tooth in my collection) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I agree with @LordTrilobite that the first tooth looks the most suspicious of them all, though it's probably real as well. The rest is definitely real, including the Maroccosuchus zennaroi crocodile tooth (i.e., the ID given is correct). 2 'There's nothing like millions of years of really frustrating trial and error to give a species moral fibre and, in some cases, backbone' -- Terry Pratchett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
