Troodon Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 The teeth are real but looks like a great deal of them have been placed in the jaw with a poor matrix fill. I'm not a mosasaur expert but you may have teeth there from different species Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBrewer Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I'm pretty sure they are real but there is restoration and it's quite likely some of the teeth have come from other mosasaurs i wouldnt pay $600 John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Mostly real yes. But as the others have said. There is some filling. There's no reason to fill in so much other than to hide mistakes or faults. So I'd say it's possible that teeth 2 to 4 do not belong to this jaw and are from different individuals. Overall a nice piece but poor fill in. The teeth that do seem to belong to this jaw look like Prognathodon sp.

Troodon Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I think at least the first four teeth in both jaws have been added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HamptonsDoc Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I just spent a lot of time looking closely at Mosasaur jaws at the Denver show this week and I personally would not purchase this piece. Looks like many of the teeth are cemented on to me, and like Trooden said, not even sure they're all from the same species. It looks like the parts glued together are all authentic but not from the same animal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnoun11 Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 absolutly faked , many species , bad position of the teeth , is not even a good job. The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it. Terry Pratchett ...
