Seguidora-de-Isis Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Good morning to everyone! Please, is this Spinosaurus tooth 100% authentic or is it just mounted with several teeth? Every opinion is welcome! Thank you! Is It real, or it's not real, that's the question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seguidora-de-Isis Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 What do you think, my friend Troodon? Is It real, or it's not real, that's the question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I think it's real and do not see any composite sections. The ribbing is continuous from the tip to the root area. The matrix on the base may be concealing a void. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sseth Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 It is indeed a spinosaurus tooth. It has a few minor repairs and a possible section of restoration at the root but still a good tooth. 1 _____________________________________ Seth www.fossilshack.com www.americanfossil.com www.fishdig.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I agree with Troodon and sseth. Real tooth with some possible filling or repair. 1 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seguidora-de-Isis Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 I paid trifle ... I only paid R $ 70,00 Dollars! In fact it was not only this tooth, it was a lot containing 3 pieces ... And with this tooth of Carcharodontosaurus, all right with he? The vertebra I do not know what it is, does anyone know? I think it's a shark's. Is It real, or it's not real, that's the question!

Troodon Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Correct a shark vertebra not sure it's from kem kem. Carch tooth is good. Nice color 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Speeding Carno Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 That's a nice spinosaurid tooth! Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBrewer Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Not sure what R $'s are but if equivalent roughly US $ you've done pretty well! 1 John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I wrote it wrong. I paid $ 70.00 Dollars for this whole lot. I found that I paid very cheaply. Imagine a tooth of this size, totally real, and still with roots... I am very happy. Only the tooth of Carcharodontosaurus would be worth this price... Is It real, or it's not real, that's the question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seguidora-de-Isis Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 Good morning to everyone! The seller just replied that this shark vertebra was discovered on creek mine in the USA. Any clue what specie it might be? Thanks all comments! Is It real, or it's not real, that's the question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That locality is then Lee Creek Mine in North Carolina (mio-plio) It's difficult to classify shark vertebra to genus or species. Yours is a Scylorhinoid type Centrum. The illustration is from Kents book Fossil Sharks of Cheseapeake Bay. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossiling Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Yes, troodon is correct about shark verts being hard to identify. Since only the middle centrum fossilize, you cannot tell from the jutting-out parts (what are they called?) what species they are. Keep looking! They're everywhere!
