Hello i bought this triceratops tooth a while ago and was just double checking its authenticity. Is it real? Thanks.

Real ceratopsian, but not sure you can say triceratops. If it’s from Hell Creek Formation, it could be triceratops, Torvosaurus, or tatankasaurus. There’s really no way to tell off teeth. But the tooth is authentic ;)

Excellent. It is from hell creek form. :) Quick question, how do you tell it is real? Is it the detail or?

Few things, these teeth are found so often that it would most likely cost more money to fake it.

 

Next is the detail which can be the enamel, serrations, etc that are found on Dino teeth.

Hi

Runner64 has nailed m, even with an unworn tooth you can’t say it is a 100% Triceratops tooth but a ceratopsian. Definitely real.  :dinothumb:
