lhn Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Hey guys! Bought a Meg tooth from a trusted seller for my soon, but for some reason I want to confirm it is real. Here are a couple images. It is about 5.6inch in length and weights 1lb 8oz or 0.6kg. Looks great when I hold it but as you know they make great fakes... so if anyone can spot something please let me know. Thanks!

Ludwigia Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Looks good to me as well, but let's allow the real experts here to have their say. Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhn Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 Thanks! Yeah it looks awesome...even too good to be true haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I would think if it were repaired or enhanced, they would have fixed the dings in the enamel. It's a nice tooth, with some dings and enamel peel. Nice, but not perfect. My vote is on it being real. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

lhn Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 Thanks Tim! Yeah it's "No repairs or restoration" based on seller note. But since I never had one in my hand just want to make sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praefectus Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Real megalodon tooth. I hope your son likes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 A very impressive sized tooth! Now that he is spoiled, any smaller teeth from here on out will seem sub par. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilNerd Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Looks real to me. Some chipping on the edge, and a little enamel peeling, but still a nice tooth. I’d be proud to own it.

caldigger Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Now is your son old enough to gain the concept of just how big this shark would have been? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have him stand next to a school bus & then you can explain the similarities in size. Not the short bus though. 1 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- John I had a friend once, but the wheels fell off.
