Samhain Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 (edited) Can anybody help with identifying if this is a real Spinosaurus tooth? Thank you in advanced. Edited March 26, 2023 by Samhain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of buying it and I wanted to make sure it’s authentic, so I don’t have anymore photos besides these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 The ridges on the crown give me a bit more comfort its a Spinosaurid but the photos are not the best to make a call. Need to also see two carinae on both sides and cannot make any out.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Troodon already stated it does not look like your typical Spinosaurus tooth. It might be but it could also be something else. Im leaning more towards Plesiosaurus. But your second photo shows ridges, still not typical Spinosaurus allot of Spinosaurid teeth are up for purchase so I would find another in my opinion . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samhain Posted March 31, 2023 Author Share Posted March 31, 2023 I have some more photos from other angles, in these photos I’m able to make out two carinae on both edges of the tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the Sigilmassaurus, Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus and any other genuses? From what I’ve read, there isn’t any way to tell the genus by the teeth, is that true?

Troodon Posted March 31, 2023 Share Posted March 31, 2023 Depends what paleontologist you talk with. A growing number say Sigilmassasaurus brevicollis and Spinosaurus sp. Ibrahim says Spinosaurus aegyptiacus. New discoveries are needed to validate what's valid along with all the other theropods. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
