Is this spinosaurus tooth real?

[Han Han]

Hello!

I bought this spinosaurus tooth with root recently.

I know that there are much fake spinosaurus tooth on market.

Is this real?

Spinosaurid roots like most other theropods are hollow, thin walled and typically have a sheen on them.  If roots have a bony porous looking structure to their appearance they are most likely fake.   Post future interest here before you buy....especially with Moroccan material.

 

Here are a couple of examples

we have seen many "originals", partly eroded, with a root like this. Not as long as yours, but long. I would´t say 100% that its a fake, might be the bottom end has been added (see the different colors)

Definitely a fake root and real crown. The surface structure is not consistent with what a real root looks like. Just a random piece of bone glued on to an isolated tooth crown. Very common, is done all the time.

Totally agree, I see these all the time.
