I have a few opalised teeth that i want to show you.

Hmm These are not teeth, these are rocks / minerals.

especially not dinosaur material.

They are already part of his collection and he was just sharing it.  I've moved it to Member Collections.

[Andre Pterosaur]

Yes it should be in member collection , a few more .

they are called Yowah nuts .

i think they were volcanic geode under the sea, some of them have gel precious opal inside .

 

 

 

[Andre Pterosaur]

Theses are real Yowah nuts , 

but in my hand I have two fake one , nice but man made .

 

[Andre Pterosaur]

I show you more teeth , tell me if they are teeth or just something else.

This is the most convincing to me, the fluting and view of the base solidify it as a tooth in my mind.

Regardless of the true identity of the pieces shared earlier, the opals are all very beautiful.

I agree... I would certainly call this one a  tooth.  And the reddish one also, but the others look more like belemnites.

The reddish one is definitely a tooth, however the preservation is quite Kem Kem-esque. At the same time I'm not super familiar with these materials and what non opalized teeth may look like from the area.

Dr Yong - YI Zhen Paleontologie from Sydney museum told me they were opalised teeth .

 

[Andre Pterosaur]

I show you some opalised Belemnite .

 

[Andre Pterosaur]

I show you what is a rare hollow bone with internal decaying bones structures preserved.

enjoy because it’s one of a kind.
