Question on authenticity.

Is the online store Fossilera reputable?

Just bought a 1.15" Juvinile Spinosaurus Tooth for $27 including shipping and I am pretty stoked on the purchase. They say 100% guarantee with outstanding feedback so I took a gamble. Only complaints was the packaging... However, I have faith and I believe it's real!

Check Fossilera on Facebook, see Matt Heaton's wall and his current collecting in Morocco. I've known Matt as a very down to earth fossil collector since about 2005.

You would be surprised how much free stuff he donates to fossil educators.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm new to this so I had to ask. He seems like a legit guy. That's awesome what he does. I have mad respect for him now after learning that! Thanks again. Now I'm even more stoked.

Thanks for the feedback once again guys! I didn't mean to disrespect in anyway such a great dealer. I'm just new to this hobby and had to make sure. Now I know this awesome guy is great! I'm beyond happy with my purchase.

Hi sandi, Matt and I go way back. He is a very honest guy and giving too. Just don't give him too much wiskey around the campfire. Ha!!!

I have officially become hooked on the fossil collecting hobby. I took a huge gamble and bought my first megalodon tooth on Amazon and it's a beauty. Since then I have only purchased fossils from Matt and Fossil Era. So far I have bought 2 megalodon teeth with a third on the way, 2 raptor teeth which were perfectly packaged for their smaller size and one spinosaurus tooth. The only question I have is about the Spinosaurus tooth. I just read that sometimes "prehistoric" crocodile teeth are sold whether mistakenly or not sold as Spinosaurus teeth. I was just curious how often this happens. Either way I am more than happy with FossilEra.com and feel everything I have are legit.

That looks like a nice spinosaurus tooth. Good buy! And whenever you have doubts to the authenticity of a fossil you can post pictures of it in the "Is it Real?" Section of the forum. That way we can tell you if it's real/misidentified before you buy it. And have fun building your collection! :D
