Smilodon3 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 So I've recently decided to start collecting fossils and such And for my first fossil i decided I would like a spinosaurus tooth (as the spinosaurus had been a favourite of mine since around the age of 10) The tooth wasn't super expensive but I inquired the seller about it and asked if it was real. They said it was basically. Anyhow, I got the tooth and was wondering if you guys could give me some insight on wether it is genuine or not.

Kane Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Welcome to the forum Do feel free to post some images of the tooth for our experts to have a look. Pictures in good lighting, at different angles, will help for identification purposes. ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 If there is a way of resizing them to be under 3.95 mb each, that might work. If you are uploading more than one at a time, try refreshing the page after you post one image and it should clear you for posting another <3.95 mb image. ...How to Philosophize with a Hammer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 The tooth looks real but obtuse pictures can be deceptive. Can you post straight in photos and not in a container Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's possible that these are natural breaks due to the fossilisation process as there is sometimes distortion in the Kem Kem beds. But yes, they could be repairs. Otherwise the tooth looks good. A nice specimen. The seller didn't inform me wether the tooth had repairs or not, so it could be either way. Thankyou also for the input Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
