MadRey Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I'm fairly new to collecting/hunting fossils. I bought these as Smilodon teeth last year, but I think they are Enchodus teeth. Can someone confirm? Thanks! From left to right: 5cm, 4cm, 2cm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gareth_ Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 @MadRey Just noticed that was your first post, welcome to TFF! I hope you're not too disheartened knowing the teeth aren't what you thought they were when you bought them..... it's very easy to be mislead (intentionally or not) by a seller, you've learned something and Enchodus fangs are a nice fossil to have in a collection! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much! I was a bit disappointed when I found out, but anything prehistoric is exciting to own anyway haha. Your Enchodus teeth are gorgeous! Did you glue some of them back together? Mine are broken, but I haven't fixed them yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure not to get any on your fingers or clothes though, that stuff stays around for forever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine are broken, but I haven't fixed them yet. Some are complete, most are glued. I bought them that way. Unfortunately, most are broken on (I assume) removal from the matrix. My first pic, the tooth on the right is at near maximum size which I picked up too cheap, one of those awesome lucky finds! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
