Is there any real tooth there? It looks carved out of plaster. 190 millimeters would be close to a record.

I too would be very suspicious of this tooth. 190 mm is equal to 7.48 U.S. inches.

The enamel and bourlette aren't right. They did a decent job on the root though. I'm quite certain it is fake.

Wheres the picture? I think it failed to load, so you might have to correct the link. Anyways, guessing without the pic, Im sure that its probably a fake. I mean thats over 7 inches, plus with serrations and no damage. That means its the godquality absolute perfect tooth, and something like that would be worth a heck ton, if someone would actually sell it outside a museum.

If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM!
