Svet Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) Purchased this one from an auction site for fairly cheap. I'm sure actual tooth is real but is the root matrix real as well especially if coming from Morocco? Thanks!

Troodon Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Its a composite tooth so the root is real and crown appear real but not from the same animal. Attached by some glue mix. Would like to see lighter pictures of the crown to make sure its real, currently very dark difficult to see much detail . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Andy- Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 This is a problematic tooth. Are you able to get a refund? Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miocene_Mason Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Water will probably dissolve the glue, so you can have a real root and a real tooth rather than a fake rooted tooth. “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
