Another Indonesian meg

The root  on the black tooth seems too perfect.  Maybe I’m wrong?  Thoughts?

Indonesia of course.

Any red flags on the second tooth?  Also Indonesia.  
thanks for the help

I can't tell on the second one but the first, the root looks mostly or completely restored. I don't see any big red flags on the blade just polished

I agree with @Top Trilo. The first one has a dark blade color, but the root does not match up with that. I am also suspicious that the first one is from the US (most likely southeastern.) Correct me if I'm wrong, but I have never seen a dark blue colored one like that come from Indonesia. I believe that the color comes from tannins and other natural dyes when the teeth are in rivers or in Oceans, where they are commonly found in the US. From what I know, most of the sites in Indonesia are on land. Again, correct me if I'm wrong with this.

Both are natural, no red flags! 

 

Regarding the colors and locality: both are Indonesian, west Java, just different layers.

Imo, no restorations on either. They also both appear to be from Java. The dark colored enamel is less common from what I've seen, but I have seen it. I actually just bought a similarly colored one from Java
