jonyaple Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Hello, I have a mosasaur jaw that I wanted to see if it was real or fake. Most of the fakes I've seen were with both the upper and lower jaws. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praefectus Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 It is a piece of mosasaur jaw bone with three teeth glued to it. Note how the teeth are different sizes and resting at different heights in the jaw. There is a layer of glue beneath each tooth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonyaple Posted September 3, 2022 Author Share Posted September 3, 2022 Thanks. Did they ever have different sized teeth when they're being replaced? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but this is not one of those cases. This piece was assembled to make a sale. It's likely that none of the parts belong to the same animal. 1 2 The human mind has the ability to believe anything is true. - JJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
