Is this a t-rex tooth ?

[lone5wolf117]

Is this supposedly a T-Rex tooth from Hell Creek Formation ? i dont see any serrations could be worn out the size is 3 3/4 inch and any restorations or repair to it ?

[-Andy-]

I say no.

 

1) It doesn't look thick enough for a Rex. The shape is too recurved for my liking.

 

2) There's some very strange repairs done to the tooth. I see possible filler

 

3) The color is off too. The tooth may be painted.

 

All in all, I see too many red flags on this tooth. Avoid it.

I agree that this looks painted or stained.

i would agree looks closer to a mosasaurus tooth to me

There is at least one piece of real fossil in there... the little rectangle at the base of the tooth in the first photo.,  but otherwise, I am having a hard time seeing any actual tooth.  Yes, definitely painted.   I get red flags all over this one.

I agree with all of the above.  I'm having a hard time seeing anything on this one that resembles a T.rex tooth.  I would definitely pass on this one.

I think we should avoid this type of fossils...

 

Very doubtfull specimens.
