Adcrocuta skull

[Crazyhen]

This Adcrocuta skull is from Hezheng of China.  Is it genuine?  And note the ‘mark’ on the left canine, is it cracks or marking?

I cannot speak to the authenticity of the skull, looks nice

 

This area appears to be restored so there is a good possibility that some of the teeth were composited or reattached if found near the skull.  The fill around these front teeth does not look natural.  You really need to take a UV light to see what the rest of the skull looks like, photos are not the best to pick up repairs/resto

There is a ton of plaster on this skull, although the teeth are good. Many incisors are composited. Both zygomatics reconstructed and sagittal crest.

The area you have highlighted is the only real bone on the whole left side of the mandible, although there may be more bone under the plaster.

In addition to the details others have stated, even the matrix looks compositied. Teeth look sketchy to me.

 The "ink marks" on the canine may be the artists, signature, but I am not certain. 

On the other hand, if the price is low, it is not a bad display piece.

 

Here's some real ones for comparison:

 

I have a few casts of incomplete mandibles and a partial skull of this critter, and the spacing on the teeth is awfully close together compared to the one in the OP
