wrfisherman Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 The enamel tips of these teeth are typically genuine enough. Most (from Morocco) tend to have tip damage and this keeps the price lower on them. It's when these are put into fake roots and jaws that the Fake Police come out. This one seems in Good condition (Fair, Good, Very Good, Excellent). Minor visible cracks, and normal break from the root. We have several of this size and this lighter color. Hope that helps, M Mitchell Don't Sit Still - - You'll Fossilize! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 These teeth are rarely faked but used to fake other composite assemblages. Nice tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Single crowns are rarely ever faked, as they are very common. It's only when you are buying a fully rooted mosasaur tooth that you gotta be careful of the root being composite. Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday!

Troodon Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Don't hesitate to ask for our opinion before you make a purchase. Most responses are pretty quick and will definitly avoid disappointment if it turns out to be fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
