Dominik1922 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Hello I am from Austria so Sry for my English. I have bought some fossils and want to ask some experts what they Think about it. The First is a spinosaurus tooth. What you Think about it, is he real and how much is it worth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominik1922 Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 And the Second one is what i Think a cacharodontosaurus. I know its Not in Perfect conditions but for me is important that they are real. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Welcome to the forum Your first tooth is a Spinosaurid and real but it appears to have a composite root with some repair. Please take more pictures so we can have a better look. Your second is real but will need more pictures to determine what it is. What is the size. It has had some repairs and the back may be composited, repaired or restored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominik1922 Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 Thanks for your quick reply. I am Happy that they are real. Here are some other photos First from the spinosaurus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Thank you for the Spinosaurid pictures The tip is restored and I don't think the root is real. The crown is real between the arrows 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 The other tooth is a Carcharodontosaurid with some repairs. Would like to see pictures tooth flat on table both sides straight down not at sn angle 3 minutes ago, JohnBrewer said: That’s what I was thinking. It's amazing how much effort the Moroccans put in these teeth. Nothing goes to waste, which if sold as restored would not be bad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominik1922 Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 Its sad thats Not all real because i have hoped its a real one. But i am still Happy thats a little Bit real spinosaurus in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBrewer Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Cropped and brighten up a tad. Repaired but not composited I think 2 John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Thank you John makes life a but easier The tooth is all there a bit weathered but I think Carch. That dark area in the middle is where someone patched it and I do think the front and back belong to the same tooth but that subject for debate but to your point it's real. We call the top tooth Spinosaurid because there appears to be multiple species of Spinos in the Kem Kem of Morocco and currently we cannot differentiate between species. The two known are Spinosaurus and Sigilmassasaurus 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haravex Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Both of these have been restored using a mixture of matrix and superglue, and the spinosauride tooth looks to me like a composition, I hope you didn't pay too much for these and would advise finding a new seller as these are not of the greatest quality at all. The second one has me leaning towards a partial juvenile carcharadontosaurs tooth, having said that without a better look at the serrations its hard to identify. If your looking for spinosaruide teeth this is what you should in my opinion be looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominik1922 Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 Ok thank you guys for your very helpful answers. I am absolutely new at this area so i was very exciting when i have buy it. And what do you Think are the tooth worth? I dont want to sell it because i am so glad to have tooth from dinosaurs but i Hope i dont have paid to much. I have paid for the First tooth After some discussion 100euro And for the carchodontosaurus 15 Euro because the Seller didnt know which one These is he said. I have bought it from a mineraldealer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 We do not do appraisals on the forum but I can say you paid much to much for that Spinosaurid tooth probably because the dealer thought the root was real Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominik1922 Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 Ok thanks for your offer. The Next Time i will do it. Also thanks to all of you for the quick and helpfull answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haravex Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Agreed with the overpriced however on the forums we do not do appraisals for a various number of reason, however you can always ask here what you think of a specimen and we can give you opinions on the quality, condition and degree of "real" product. In general i find it best to stay away from anything that looks like there has been super glue involved especially if i was ever to buy online as this is the way most of these fabrications occur due to "repair" when its blatantly a restoration. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominik1922 Posted December 13, 2017 Author Share Posted December 13, 2017 I will do it Next Time because i was so glad about my buy and Now i am dissapointed because it seems to me very good. So for the Next Time i know what i have to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Actually. I think that root on the Spinosaur tooth might be real and not composited. Yes it has definitely been repaired and there are some parts that are filled in. So it looks a little rough. But all the white parts on the root are real, the blobby brown parts are filler. It looks like the white parts do attach to the tooth crown without any major gaps, which makes me think this root does belong to this tooth. The second tooth definitely looks like a Carcharodontosaurid tooth. But it looks like it might be composited, or at least repaired. 4 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
