What parts of this spinosaurus tooth are restored?

[LordWampa]

Hello,

 

Once again I am looking for your help!

 

The seller of this spino tooth says that it has some glued fractures (this is obvioulsy seen) and some filled fractures.

 

Do you think only some small part of this is restored or do you see any part that may indicate that the restoration is bigger than just some filled fractures?

The tip of the tooth looks composited and the end of the root looks fake.

Are this the parts that you think are composited and fake?

Yes, the tip curves in a different way from the rest of the tooth, and the "root" looks quite different from the upper root and is covered in sand glue.

Hello, 

The whole teeth is composited with fillers and stone grind . Perhaps a very small fraction is real in the tip about 10% but the preservation of the real parts is also very poor preserved, this is overal a very bad example of a typical fake rooted Spino teeth. Stay away , in fact run away from it!
