JUAN EMMANUEL Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Hi everyone I found this mosasaur jaw online and can anyone tell me if this jaw is fabricated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Andy- Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 It's real. There's good bone material, and both the bone and teeth are the right color. The teeth position is correct too. The teeth on the back might be composited in, but this fossil is pretty good. I buy from this dealer often. 1 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bguild Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Definitely real! Looks a lot like the Halisaurus jaw section I have in my collection (Although mine is much smaller). I'm not seeing any red flags here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramon Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 It looks real!!! This is what fake ones look like Fake mosasaur jaws in Morocco These fakes are called composite mosasaur jaws. The teeth are real the jaw and the matrix are fake. I have seen composite jaws and they sell for about $100 us dollars!!! 1 "Without fossils, no one would have ever dreamed that there were successive epochs in the formation of the earth" - Georges Cuvier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurelius Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I've always felt this was a good dealer. I'd buy it myself if I had the money - go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max-fossils Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Here's another example of fake composite mosasaur jaw. Unfortunately this one is already in my collection, and I spent useless money on it. Luckily yours looks real, so I agree: go for it!

LordTrilobite Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I agree with Andy. Looks good. But it's possible some teeth might be placed in the matrix. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
