Fake or real brown meg tooth


Recommended Posts

Came across this 6 inch Megalodon tooth on the internet. I have suspect this is a replica since the colors seem off to me but not sure.

Its also stupid cheap or a clear replica.

I know the serrations are next to impossible to replicate.

The crown has a very bad paint job, one can actually see the streaks.  Lots of white chips which is a red flag for it being a resin replica

No, they are easy to do with silicone.  This looks like a cast based on the paint job.
