dinos Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I recently brought these teeth from a website (they deal with fossils) and was assured they are 100% real. I am newbie to this so I would just like some assurance that these are in fact real or fakes. Any comments would be much appreciated. The biggest one is about 2 1/5 inches.

Troodon Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Welcome to the forum The two on the left and the far right one are Spinosaurid teeth. Cannot tell what the other one is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bguild Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Yep, they're real! Although Troodon does bring up a good point about the tooth 2nd from the right. Spinosaurus teeth aren't usually this curved, but maybe yours is due to the way the tooth broke, or wore down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 My guess is that's a croc tooth possibly similiar to Elosuchus cherifiensis but I not familiar with all croc's in that region. Some like this one has some very similiar features and is curved. Spinosaurid teeth are straight like Bguild indicated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bguild Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I was thinking croc as well. Shapewise its very similar to one in my collection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Real. And I agree. That third tooth looks like it could be croc. 1 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Andy- Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I am on the croc gang too. The cross section looks like croc. Do Spino teeth have cross sections like that? 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...

When you say cross section are you referring to the back end view of the tooth? My spino tooth has a similar end to the tooth in question above, but the rest of the tooth doesn't match at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runner64 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I agree with the third one from the right being a crocodile Tooth however the rest look like Spinosaurus! Good news too, they don't look they are composites or have any cracks and holes filled with matrix. Looks good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
