sharpteeth Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 (edited) Hi everyone! I recently bought this Mosasaur tooth with a complete root attached. It was found in Morocco. I know there are many fakes around where they glue a real crown to a fake root. I hope you guys can tell me more on it and possibly verify it's authenticity. (Size: 14cm in length) Thanks in advance!

Notidanodon Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 In my opinion it’s real and a very nice specimen at that 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordTrilobite Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I agree, real. Although it's a bit worn. 1 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Yeah, I agree with what the others have said. The bone texture on the root has worn down a bit, but otherwise a really nice, authentic specimen! 1 'There's nothing like millions of years of really frustrating trial and error to give a species moral fibre and, in some cases, backbone' -- Terry Pratchett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
