Mosasaur tooth with root- what do you think?


Recommended Posts

It has obviously been repaired, but the tooth fragment below is intriguing- do you think this is a genuine, or is it fake or composite?

Real tooth crown. Real root. But I don't trust that join.

 

It looks mostly okay. But that gap in the join looks suspicious to me. The tooth crown also looks like it might be slightly to big at the base for the root. It doesn't quite fit. I would pass on this one.

I'm with LordTrilobite on this one very suspicious looks like a composite. I like the unerupted crown.  The crown on the top photo appears to be wider than the root,

A and C look good. B looks a little iffy, though I would lean towards it being real.
