Fake or real?

Hi people. So I want to get a meg tooth for my son and I'm a complete novice when it comes to spotting a fake or a tooth that has been restored or polished. I was wondering people's thoughts on this tooth for all the above.

Indo Meg, looks like it's got root repair/restoration done, but the blade looks fine. 

See here for more info on Indo Megs: 

 

Fossils? I dig it. :meg:

Hello this a Megalodon from Indonesia, fairly common. The blade is in good condition a few chips missing.

be aware of the root, in this case I believe the root is completely fake and altered. 
Goodluck  !

Thanks guys. Is there anymore good links to guides about how to spot root restoration, polishes etc. Also could anyone recommend some good websites or sellers of quality megalodon teeth. Thanks for your time.
