yerde Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Hi, is this real? Recently I've bought a megalodon tooth but I didn't get a authenticity document and I have no experience in fossils. Can you help me please? 10-15 mil years, 12.1 cm, Miocene age Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Looks OK to me. For your information - Anyone with a computer and a printer can print out a "Certificate of Authenticity". They mean NOTHING. They are more worthless than the ink and paper they are printed with.

Meganeura Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Besides the crack possibility being repaired and the possibility of a possible sandstone/matrix root as is common with Indonesia Megs - it's very much a real tooth! Fossils? I dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phos_01 Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Hi Yes its real! looks OK to be , and indeed a certificate does not mean anything, since everyone can just print one out with whatever they want to add to it. You can only trust in your own knowledge, and this forum ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeon.rocks Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) No resto, but labial side root is just carved sandstone, root probably not preserved on that side, so they carved it out of matrix. Should be cheap! Edited January 17, 2023 by aeon.rocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
