Coco Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 (edited) @Satoshi On September 14 I asked you to read my last link in my signature. So this time I explain why. Pedagogical message Don't take your fossils in the hand to make your photos, it accentuates the blur of moving and the hands aren't a good indication of measurement, there are all sizes ! In addition to the origin and age of the terrain in which the fossils are found, size is also important for proper identification. I invite you to read my last link in my signature because if you don’t have a rule, print the document I made available and put your fossils on it before making your photos, making sure to leave a box with the apparent size Coco Edited October 9, 2021 by Coco 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Paleorunner Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Sorry, I can't confirm if it's authentic. But looking at the photos, it gives me the feeling that it is repaired, as if it were broken in half, and they had stuck it, I am even thinking of a composition of two teeth, because it gives me the feeling that the tonality and texture of the teeth changes. two parts, (but that may be due to the lights when taking the photo). Wait for the responses of the most qualified members. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Troodon Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Lots of red flags...too much graining on the surface especially the distal part of the claw, the bloodgrooves should not be flat to the sides all the way toward the tip, might be a composite the dorsal area around the break repair appears to dip. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
