The first one is fake, the carina (which seems weird) and the "root" (which is more a piece of bone) have been glued together

 

the second one i cant say because of the picture

Agree the top photo is fake, a composited tooth.  The second one looks like a possible Titanosaurid tooth but like to see better photos.  On the Jaw looks like croc but is it composited, restored etc.  Need to see more photos from different angles, a few red flags are visible..

Ok here are some new angles of the Crocodile jaw + two saw fishes, wonder if they are real? And how do I notice fakes? All of these are Kem Kem.20211127_130531.thumb.jpg.ede2053d13293f1359b7dbabe3a234cc.jpg20211127_130516.thumb.jpg.cc2db3021ea4b66720e24123b22e6c16.jpg20211127_130308.jpg.e8c0fe7f0a6924a49adfd97c1d51a153.jpg20211127_130255.jpg.3818a52a017858288941990001018d5b.jpg20211127_130228.jpg.f4fe75f9d622644d1a226c662e511d15.jpg20211127_130241.jpg.89aa728d1cda3d82dd52d201d6b0cbfc.jpg

The jaw is still the same top view.   How to tell?  you need experience, look for matrix that has been added, different colors, views from all angles, bone shapes that do not make sense or line up.  I will say this that the preservation, or resto on this jaw is awful.   Just on the top view looks like areas have been added to complete the tooth sockets

 

The rostral teeth of  Onchopristis numidus top one looks real but again photos are not good.  Second one the base is a composite, the ridges do not line up at the break.
