Is this tooth real? Carcharodontosaurus


Recommended Posts

Hello, I have a question about the authenticity of a tooth. All 4 teeth are carcharodontosaurus teeth. Normally I know only brown to reddish teeth. The tooth on the left side is 8 cm big and in my opinion rather white. Is this a coincidence or a fake? Thank you very much

Hello, heres what I think. They are all partly real. But not in a very good condition. The first one has a filled up crown.  And the biggest one is partly glued together. There is a chance only the tip is real. More photos are needed. The last two on the right are in the best condition. Colors can be in variation on these tooth. The white one is more rare than darker typical red ones.

Its all dependent on the locality of the of the Kem Kem group where this was found.   They can range with the colors of your teeth to those that are much darker grey tones.

The two teeth in your last group are Composited or Resto or both.  The first one is composited  and Second extensively restored may be a composite

Yes like Frank has mentioned. the big one has some mayor work to it. You can see it at the serrations on the side , they stop at the middle part. So this tooth is fixed up to make it look beter, the dark brown parts are all patched up with filler. Goodluck :dinothumb:
