Auction Spinosaurus Jaw

Hi Everyone,

 

I've been shopping for a Spinosaurus Jaw for a little bit and saw this guy online. I did search previous posts on Spino jaw ID but I thought I'd open it up to the group as I was unable to determine if it was croc or spino.

 

 

 

Thank you

I don't know enough about these to offer an educated opinion but if you look at the Tucson 2017 thread the second to last post on page 1 has some pictures of Spino jaws from a respectable dealer I posted to compare to. The teeth are never original with these either.

I don't believe you are looking at a Spinosaurid jaw for several reasons.

 

Attached photo of one from my collection shows an edge/lip running the full length of the mandible, it's missing on the one for sale

Spinosaurid jaws also do not have as a prounced hinge where the teeth are as the one being offered. It's tapers slowely and the teeth are distant from the hinge.

 

Could be wrong.

Aside from this offering the seller is the same individual offering the sculpted Spinosaurus hand claw that LordTrilobite posted earlier.   So always wise to ask before you buy.
