Mosasaur Tooth

[Datguy]

Hey all, I recently picked up a mosasaur tooth, relatively large (2 inches) at a local rock and minerals store. It was for a great price, but from my standpoint it seems too good to be true. Some help here would be much appreciated

Looks like the real deal ... without a root they are very common. Without the root and composited in a creative and aesthetically pleasing geometric improbability ?  Priceless ... (or rather fairly affordable, call now !)

 

 

Cheers,

Brett

Haha gotcha. Looks like I’ve got myself a wonderful steal. Thanks for the info, now all I want to know is if the size is big enough. I think 2 inches is relatively big for a mosasaur tooth, but I could be wrong

I have seen some go over 3 inches. But a 2 inch one in that state(no repairs, not glued back...) is a really nice tooth and a really good size.

It's very real! 2 inches is a more than respectable size for the crown.

Very nice tooth. 

Looks totally real to me!

Moroccan mosasaur tooth crowns are very rarely faked as they are so common.

Lovely big tooth!

 

Mosasaur teeth are bargains in the fossil world.

It's real and nice.
