Hi all, a new listing just went up for a pair of Siamosaurus teeth.

Siamosaurus teeth are extremely rare. I might be tempted, if not for the fact they are misidentified fossil corals, possibly Rugosa family.

 

You can tell by the vertical lines running down the body, the lack of the distinct theropod teeth shape, the huge size of the fossils, and the poor provenance data (they are identified as Miocene).

 

I have messaged the seller about this mistake. Take care to warn anyone you know who's looking for rare dinosaur teeth.

 

 

  • I found this Informative 8

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!

Nice catch, Andy. 

They definitely look like horn corals to me. 

Unfortunately, there are many mis-identified rocks and fossils out there. :(

I thought Horn coral as soon as I saw the pic! I hope nobody actually falls for this!

I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.
