BellamyBlake Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) 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 First Megalodon Edited March 22, 2021 by BellamyBlake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BellamyBlake Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) 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 Edited March 22, 2021 by BellamyBlake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thecosmilia Trichitoma Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 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. 1 It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt -Mark Twain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
