anastasis008 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Hello, so i was thinking about buying this tooth, what do you think of it? is it real? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigantoraptor Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 It's a real Carcharodontosaurid indet. Either Sauroniops pachytholus or Carcharodontosaurus saharicus. It might have a bit fill near the tip and it's a bit in a rough condition, but it looks real. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anastasis008 Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 so would you advise me to buy it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I would pass on the tooth the preservation is very poor and there is some fill added. A lot better specimens out there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TyBoy Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Awful tooth I would NOT consider buying it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abstraktum Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Yes looks like a Carch tooth. It's very worn and some parts seem to be fabricated. I would stay away from it. I highlighted the part I have most trouble with. The outside seems to be covered with Matrix. Either to hide something or to restore the missing part completely 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caldigger Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 There are plenty of other ( better! ) examples of these teeth out there for sale. I would definately save your money on this "Frankentooth" and wait to get one of those nicer ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either to hide something or to restore the missing part completely Yep, I’m seeing what’s others have mentioned. The upper part of the tooth has been restored. There’s lots of these teeth on the market. Personally, I would keep looking for a nicer tooth with more serrations present Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pemphix Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Well, it's something for the kids to play or for their first dino fossil in the collection perhaps - but nothing more, because as already said: very bad condition, resto and rocked down. Much better material on the market (sure, it depends always on the money...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caldigger Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 If this is just for the kids to play with, I'd just get some cheapy Mosasaur teeth and let them go at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small Mosasaur teeth (M. beaugei, Qued Zem) was indeed the first fossil that i gave to the fossil collection of my son.....usually you get them for something between 5 and 50 Euros, depending on the quality....
