A few more Indonesian megs - any restorations?

[patrickhudson]

A few more Indonesian megs here I’m looking into.

 I’m mostly concerned about the roots and cementum areas.  any major restorations you are seeing?  

I love the colors of the blades and just want to make sure I’m not getting hosed on anything fake.   

Thanks so much for all your input and expertise .

They look all good to me! Nice!

Maybe the very last one has a part at the "bottom" of the pic glued back, but I am not sure of this

No red flags, maybe 2 eroded root lobes hidden in there, but nice. Just keep in mind that blade colors will "fade" a bit, tones "wear off" when these dry. Besides, I'm pretty sure they use flash or filters to take pics, so expect the teeth to be a bit less "colorful" in hand. Never pay a crazy price for Indonesian teeth just because of the colors, because they usually do their best to take photos which show off the teeth in a bit nicer condition (in example, root erosion less obvious, flash to bring out the colors, or blury small pics to make some damage less obvious etc.; like noticed the pick hammer damage on the last one?) and the teeth will dry a bit in our climate.

Thanks for the info and tips.  Really appreciate it

Follow a simple rule, if you can't count all serrations and they ask a crazy 3 or 4 figure sum per tooth, better ask for better pics...

These look good to me, but the roots make me think they may have put some type of oil(I forget what one exactly) on the tooth to bring out the colors more.
