UnbrandedMoss Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 Saw these at a rock shop in Custer and was a bit skeptical what do you guys think? For $9 each? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 The crowns are real but added onto a fake root and matrix base. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macrophyseter Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 The smooth-textured lighter portion making up what could supposed to be the upper root is plaster.

Fossildude19 Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 It is also entirely possible that all you see visible of the tooth is all there really is to it.

LordTrilobite Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Real tooth crown. The root is fake. A random piece of bone placed in there and filed down to make it look like a root. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
