In terms of restoration, cost....? 

Very nice teeth btw.

[Haravex]

I would normally take a good hard look at these teeth until I seen the price, which is very high for this quality and the fact a lot of these look like they are composite! What are you looking for in spino teeth I'm guessing size yes?

[Troodon]

I would like to understand what you're goal is in buying a Spinosaurid tooth: size, price, quality, best value against price and maybe can point you in the right direction.  Everyone's expectations are different.   I personally do not like these teeth at all but you may be different.  The prep work is very poor and all the teeth have repair issues.  Hopefully the size does include the matrix on the end of these teeth. At these prices are you interested in purchasing from a different dealer

[LordTrilobite]

All of these look repaired at the very least. The second one looks like a composite.

[amon81]

Thank you all. My goal is to take a good tooth with the tip without too much restoration work, between 100 and 150 mm, without spending too much. Obviously it's not easy so I asked the forum experts. Thanks for the considerations, In fact I was not too convinced!
Thanks so much

Hi

If you are willing to send this sort of money on reconstructed fossil tooth from Morocco and considering your closeness to Morocco and the availability of cheap flights then save your money and travel to the Kem Kem and purchase one from the miners for a lot less and see the sights.

My tooth cost 50euros from the miner, it's 90mm but as it came from the mine.

Wow beautiful tooth!!

[Pemphix]

Yes, really nice one !

Cool colour and clear details !

That was a good deal i should say...

 

[JohnBrewer]

Way overpriced!

[amon81]

The same seller send to me this other picture...maybe 100/120 [mm] at price near 140$...

For me It's a good tooth...

for you?

[Troodon]

Looks good all real and no signs of resto or repair but would like to see the other side.

[LordTrilobite]

I agree, looks good. But if one side is not viewable in photos this sometimes means that side might not be as pretty.

[amon81]

Hi all, other tooth of 136mm and some repair with glue in the same extraction site. Sand and glue to repair.

 

[Troodon]

The photos appear to be from one side and edge, do you have ones from the other side?  Difficult to comment when you only see half the tooth.

I've only that pictures...sorry

[Troodon]

I would not consider any tooth, especially from morocco, that you cannot see both sides. 

[Fitch1979]

all other teeth above are quite ok (though glued/repaired a bit) but I would NOT by these below:
