gigantoraptor Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Please don't identify sellers in any way or post links to commercial websites. To answer your question: It's a real Spinosaurid tooth, either Sigilmassasaurus brevicollis or Spinosaurus aegyptiacus. There is no way to distinguish them between one another. Most accurate ID is Spinosaurid indet. It's a real tooth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abstraktum Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 It's a nice tooth. I like especially the enamel. Best described as Spinosaurid indet. However I would request better pictures from the bottom / root, it looks like there is still some Matrix attached to it. The right side of the picture looks a bit blurry. Don't know if the picture is just bad or blurry on purpose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Nice tooth. Some damage but no signs of tampering. 1 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyBoy Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Not sure one can completely answer your question without a photo of the other side and root area The visible crown looks okay with some possible fill to the root. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Do you know the size on this tooth? Spino teeth are so numerous on the market there are tons to choose from. If it's not especially huge, I would personally look for one with a complete tip for my collection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connorp Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 That's quite small as far as spino teeth go. I would wait for a larger and nicer specimen personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
