AgentTHICC03 Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) I recently purchased a spinosaurus tooth from a website which claim the tooth is genuine. I was hoping if any of you guys could confirm it’d be much appreciated:) Edited July 16, 2021 by Kane Removed seller name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranzBernhard Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) Welcome to TFF from Austria! )First: Please remove the name of the website! Many thanks!) Edit: website removed, thank you! Second: Origin, origin, origin: Formation and/or site! Third: Real, but repaired. Something has been smeared around the gaps to make the repairs (broken tooth glued back together) less obvious. I don´t know what happened to the tip, is that a natural deposit or something to hide a missing or butchered tip? At least it seems to be the same material as smeared around the breaks. Fourth: No idea to which animal it belonged, I am just a seashell hunter . Franz Bernhard Edited July 16, 2021 by FranzBernhard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Looks like a big croc tooth, not a Spinosaurid. If from Kem Kem probably Elosuchus. Its been poorly reattached in several places. Matrix used to cover broken areas including tip. For your sake verify ID's before purchases 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
