Hey! 

Is this tooth real?

 

It's suppose to be covered in resin to protect it.

Seller description removed. Please keep in mind that posting the seller’s description verbatim could lead to potentially identifying the seller — something that can sometimes lead to legal problems that we’d like to avoid. ;) If you could paraphrase it instead, that would be welcome. :)

Looks good to me too and if it is from the Brown Bank in the North Sea it is not unusual for this material to need stabilising .

It's real and nice. I have a friend who sells them quite often from the North Sea. They come in some beautiful colors.

Yes real. Looks like a typical North Sea find.

 

Due to the salt content in general all North Sea fossils need to be treated at least in some way. Otherwise they might flake/break. This can be weeks later, or 30 years later. Adding a protective coat is fairly common.
