Indonesian Meg - Restorations?


BellamyBlake

Recommended Posts

I have here 3 Indonesian Megs. They were declared as no repairs or restorations. I now have them in person, and they look fine. I ran them under a UV, and I am suspicious of the dark spots on the roots, but I think that may be some of the top layer of the root leftover while the rest of the root eroded.

 

Additionally, the second tooth may have some restoration to the left side of the serrations, near the base of the crown.

 

I'd love some more eyes on this please, does anyone see any red flags?

 

Thank you,

Bellamy

Here's a shot of second Megalodon, serrations I'm suspicious of, under magnification. It's very confusing to me. They look real, and at the same time the uneven scratches make them look fake

I don't think any sort of fakery could have made the serrations that way, and if it was fake there wouldn't be the contrast between the matrix and the serrations. It looks like some sort of small pathology to me.
